Danny Williams told Provincial Conservatives on the weekend something to the effect that the federal Liberals in the province were bouyed up by Provincial Conservatives.
He said something about Liberal's claiming there was a Red Tide - which no one has been talking about - being the result of some Blue bubble or other.
Nothing could be further from the truth, as he likes to say.
For your edification, amusement and general annoyance, here are the vote results for the ridings held before this last election by the same Liberals who won them again.
Note that the only significant variation - almost the only variation at all, in fact - was in the near complete collapse of the Conservative vote.
And that's all thanks to the Family Feud.
Bonavista-Gander-Grand Falls-Windsor? Scott Simms increased his vote share as he has done in each election since 2004, but the Blue guys sank.
Ditto Humber-St. Barbe-Baie Verte where the family Feud just killed off Connies. It didn't migrate appreciably to anyone else.
And then there's Labrador. You needn't worry about the smaller parties.
Just look at the Blue Line.
Almost too small to even notice.
In many parts of the province, the only noise in the election was a big sucking sound for the Blue team.
