I wondered what our house looks like, and found it less-well-regionally-sorted (Connecticut, Mississippi, Oklahoma having an advantage of sorts, aside from the low-population outliers).

Jordan;
Good afternoon to you my friend, I trust you're all well.
Please understand that my opinion on how the Conservatives are doing is based upon the situation as I understand it to be at present, not how I would like it to be.
For sure and certain O'Toole and Peter MacKay are centrist leaders and the party is also centrist at this point.
I think that's the draw of Bernier now too - that he's an actual right wing candidate.
Unfortunately at this point in our nation's history I don't think that there's enough support to get a right of center party into power.
Not with the way the electoral districts are set up. As we both know a single vote in PEI is equal to 4 votes here in BC. Those are tough odds.
Depending upon how some of this shakes out, we might be ready for Quebec and Ontario to swing right of center and if that'd happen I'd be overjoyed.
Anyways to be clear again, it isn't what I prefer the situation to be, but how I perceive it based upon the last couple of election results.
Hopefully that makes more sense?
All the best.
Dwayne
