I expect that the incumbency factor will help keep this riding in Daryl Kramp's hands. Liberal ken Cole is running a vigorous pre-campaign now, renting billboard signs in Belleville, and keeping in the local press, nevertheless, i still expect that it's not going to be enough. Could it be he's thinking about next time as a consolation prize?

The dirty work having been done by snagging Lyle Vanclief's open seat in '04, Kramp found it quite easy to make Grit standard-bearer Dr. Robert Vaughan say U.N.C.L.E. in '06--though habits die hard, as near-campaign collapse couldn't prevent Belleville from staying largely true to the Liberals. (OTOH in the Bancroftian far north, the NDP actually finished ahead of the Grits!) Unless a giant asteroid hits Bancroft (and in the process, creating Gemboree rockhound specimens for future millennia) consider this one out of the non-CPC picture as it currently stands.

Had the 2000 boundaries been used, the Liberals would have had a realistic shot at re-taking this as the Liberals are strong in Belleville. But the northern parts added are staunchly Conservative (similiar to Cheryl Gallant's riding) and the massive Tory numbers here will ensure Daryl Kramp wins even if he does poorly in the southern parts. In 2004, he didn't win a single poll in Belleville yet still took the riding.
