Hamilton's NDP-held ridings were Liberal previously, I think. It's the recessionary rodgering that downtown has taken that has pushed it from red to orange.

Stan Keyes was MP of Hamilton West starting in 1988, the year Christopherson re-elected to city council; he held the seat for the Liberals for 16 years. By comparison, Marston and Charlton have been at it since 2006, Christopherson since 2004.

Hamilton's NDP ridings – 3 of 308 seats – are probably of marginal consequence in most federal equations. The ratio changes provincially but the seats are not much more important if Hudak's Conservatives are looking to pry apart the McGuinty Liberals. I would expect more effort to go into ADFW and Hamilton Mountain races than Hamilton Centre – though the zany HESC is always a possibility.
