Mostly fluff as in not really about things to do, but ways to think about how to solve things.

3. Polls don't get a full flavor of strategic voting.
4. Polls are what people thought yesterday or the day before.
As an aside, as we often have discussions about walkable areas of the city, density, urban / suburban, I'd be curious to see a comparison of voter turn-out by riding. Anyone have that?

Polls poll cell phone people too.
If you read the articles and listen to the Premier, the PC Party polls didn't seem to suffer the same eccentricities as the public polls this time around.
