Several blogs {below} have discussed the Green Party of Canada's leader's possibilities for looking for a new 'hood, as Elizabeth May's investigating switching ridings. In the 2008 general election, she lost to Peter MacKay in Central Nova 46.6% to 32.24%. I've pulled the 2008 results from CBC {below} for many of the ridings discussed, but not all of them, and tried to summarize bloggers' analyses, colour-coded like a traffic signal. The Greens now are making it a priority to get May elected, but the question is where?

Tight three-way race won by NDP in 2008. Limited Green organization. Might be opportunity for another Green candidate.
I think there are compelling arguments made for these various ridings, but the ones that caught my eye were Saanich-Gulf Islands and Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley. While my armchair punditry for the 2008 US Presidential election over on ThickCulture was fairly close at 16 electorals off {I must admit I wavered on North Carolina w/15 electorals, which threw my math off quite a bit}, I'm still getting accustomed to Canadian elections. Last fall, I examined regions of states and local news and demographics to gain insights into which way a state might go. Similarly, I started to look at the two ridings I mentioned above, although I realize that there are key differences between federal and provincial elections.
