Um, you bet someone that there would NOT be an election call?? I hope you did this a year ago? This call has been in the works for several months. And, they all but announced it this month with the spending announcements.
Exactly what the Grits are counting on. Local conservative failures pushing the Libs to a majority. If nothing else, the Cons will spend their campaign trying to hold onto some challenging seats. They're not organized like they were before. It's bad for them.
