Wynne ran a fairly controversy-free campaign, although her performance in the televised leaders’ debate on June 3 was criticized by pundits as being weak and she was on the defensive for many of the scandals that had plagued her predecessor, Dalton McGuinty. The NDP’s slow start and public internal rift over the party’s decision to reject Wynne’s budget coupled with the unpopularity of Hudak’s 100,000 job cut pledge helped Wynne throughout the campaign. She began to eat away at the NDP’s traditional left-wing support, especially in and around Toronto, and the controversies over some of Hudak’s economic policies hurt him among centrist voters across the province. Furthermore, Wynne ran hard near the end of the campaign on the premise that in a close election, the Liberals were the only party who were in a position to defeat the PCs. The Liberals ran ads in the final weeks of the campaign warning voters that a vote for the NDP would be a vote for the PCs as it would further divide the anti-Hudak vote (who was quite unpopular among a broad swath of Ontario voters). This tactic was similar to what the federal Liberals were successful at doing during the 2004 federal election, where the party pushed hard for strategic voting to stop the federal Conservatives, led by Stephen Harper. In fact, many of the top campaign operatives during Wynne’s election worked on the 2004 federal Liberal campaign.
