Best election comment

We had ourselves a little election here in Nova Scotia yesterday -- one that saw the minority Conservative government returned with 23 seats, down from 25. (The NDP upped its total to 20, from 15, while the Liberals continued their long flame-out, with only 9 MLAs elected.)

Funniest comment comes from Bob Howse of the Halifax Chronicle-Herald:

"I don't know whether Rodney MacDonald was a big advocate of running on the spot when he taught gym in school.

"But last night’s re-election of a Conservative minority government sure feels like he just put all of us through four weeks of vigorous exercise that got us nowhere."
