I try not to think about how little choice we have... its essentially the south park election episode in real life.

Best case scenario, Stelmach gets creamed, retains a majority and gets kicked out for a new leadership election and some better candidates. I can't vote PC though, cause my MLA is a dufus (and used to be my religion teacher).
I think a minority conservative government would be the ideal (but probably unlikely) outcome. That would guarantee a shake-up in the PCs but would also signal the possibility that the Liberals could someday win an election which would hopefully draw higher quality candidates into that party and hopefully a new leadership contender there as well.
