Well, it was a dramatic finish to round one of voting. At today’s noon-MST close to voting, a final day push managed to send Trudeau and Pearson on to round two with 5 and 8 vote margins of victory respectively. I’ll give the right a lot of credit for their “vote out Trudeau” campaign…yet once again, Joe Clark has managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.<\/p>\n
Here are the full results:<\/p>\n
(1) King 1408<\/strong> (2) Macdonald 1465<\/strong> (3) Trudeau 837<\/strong> (4) Laurier 1180<\/strong> (5) Chretien 1066<\/strong> (6) Borden 811 (7) Mulroney 1136<\/strong> (8) St. Laurent 541 The round two poll will open tomorrow and follow the same pattern as this week’s. The matchups for round two will be King vs. Diefenbaker, Macdonald vs. Mulroney, Trudeau vs. Pearson, and Laurier vs. Chretien.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, it was a dramatic finish to round one of voting.
