A few observations on east end wards.
Ward 32 - It seems like Bussin vs. MMM will come down to what side of Kingston Road comes out to vote tomorrow. MMM signs are plastered all over the East Lynne Park area, which I recall was a sea of Bussin signs this time four years ago. Yet south of Kingston Road Bussin still seems strong. It is important to note as well that MMM's key constituency in the Woodbine/Danforth area borders Ward 31, making what support she has on the other side of Danforth unheard on election day. This one will come down to the wire.
Ward 31 - a cake walk for Janet Davis.
Ward 29 - This one will be interesting. Despite Jennifer Wood's big endorsements from the papers, it seems like this is between Jane Pitfield and Mary Fragedakis. The last time a Greek left-winger ran in this ward, she came 20 votes from unseating the incumbent Case Ootes. Yet a strong Jack Layton-endorsement probably doesn't fare that well in the current political climate, especially considering some 80% of the Toronto-Danforth NDP machine is in Paula Fletcher's ward. I say Pitfield wins this one in a tight race.
Ward 30 - Contrary to what Sue Ann Levy might claim, I think Paula Fletcher will keep her seat. Liz West is being touted as the Adam Vaughn of the right but does not seem to have same traction and across-the-board admiration that gave Vaughn his momentum. There is a huge NDP machine in this ward. Layton represented this area municipally and federally he won almost every poll in the ward last election. I say Fletcher wins fairly comfortably.
