I agree with Steeltown although I also agree with the prediction for PC/NDP. Libs will probably hold onto their positions provincially, I don't think the Cons are bringing much of a fight, as much as people claim to be fed up with McLiar.
I don't really think B-Line funding will be on the line, as much as it would be great. That seems to be more up to Metrolinx, which prefers to drag its feet and defer things. Lets not forget that the province is looking to chop down that deficit and has already outlined transit funding as a chopping point to get it down (as usual).
It definitely seems that NDP is the all-talk, no action party. They talk a lot about retaining manufacturing jobs in Hamilton, but to date they haven't actually made any tangible progress on that. I think we might actually see a shakeup there as well, locally.
