I think there have been successful NDP gov'ts as well.  Manitoba has 
elected them 3 terms in a row.  In Saskatchewan they had two terms, and 
are now official opposition.  Why do we always here about Ontario?  And 
geez, Bob Rae is now a Liberal anyway.  I refuse to believe that 
everything that happened there was because of the party, and not the 
particular people in government.
