Marco Ricci 99.241.63.7 |
| Interesting to note that just as Eric Hoskins won by a larger margin than Michael Bryant in St. Paul's, Glen Murray won here by a larger margin than predecessor George Smitherman. The Liberals also retained this seat federally in 2011 under Bob Rae and won it by a larger margin under Chrystia Freeland in 2013. Easy Liberal hold, although it will be interesting to see what happens in this area when the riding gets divided up federally in 2015. |

| With the byelection and the Orange Crush behind it, 2011's Murray-Crowe rematch promised to be 'one to watch'--but w/Murray turning it into a 2-to-1 landslide, what's to watch? And now with a not-so-star NDP candidate and the Fordwath backlash, don't be shocked if we revert to the '00s TC status quo of the PCs barely ahead of the NDP. |

| Glen Murray may have no respect around the Cabinet table but he's the perfect candidate for a wealthy, urban and urbane riding like this one. THe question is whether he'll get 50 percent or not. |

Trinity-Spadina Progressive 70.49.168.176 |
| The NDP has a good candidate in Kate Sellar but unfortunately for her: she has no chance. It's a very Liberal riding even in bad times, Glen Murray is well established here. Plus the large LGBT community will be especially inclined to vote for Kathleen Wynne for premier. |

monkey 174.114.16.226 |
| Glen Murray is a progressive Liberal much like Rae and Freeland so that should work in his favour. Besides the Liberals win here but the simple fact they are on the only party who is competitive in all parts of the riding. Rosedale is very wealthy so won't go NDP, while Cabbagetown has a large gay community and Regent Park has a high number on social assistance so the PCs will get in the single digits here so even if the PCs take Rosedale and NDP Cabbagetown and Regent Park, their weaknesses in the other will ensure they don't win this. The Liberals by contrast will either win or at least come close in all parts of the riding. Bob Rae lost the majority of polls last federal election but won by being competitive in all sections. |

| No change here. Murray is well known and works hard for his constituents. With Wynne's momentum in Toronto, this one remains liberal. |

seasaw 99.225.1.213 |
| This riding should and will stay Liberal. I disagree with the previous poster about Wynne's appeal, she doesn't have much of an appeal regardless of what they drink. It is true that the Tories won a portion of the riding in 1995, with Al Leach's close victory, but that was when a lot of people identified the PC Party, as the Big Blue Machine and Bill Davis. Today's PC Party doesn't look like the old party. Glenn Murray is a bright, personable and dedicated politician, and is quite popular, he can win here under the Liberal banner, NDP banner, Independent, and may be even the PC banner. Wynne's appeal here may not be much, but it's a hell of a lot more than any appeal Hudak might have. |
