To paraphrase the Simpsons, "how can one weak pathetic leader do so well, and another weak, pathetic leader do so poor?"
All four guys are well below par. The Liberals tried to out-socialist the PCs which never works. Lawrence Decore had the right idea, and they need to find their new Decore. The WRA let themselves get pigeon-holed by their social views, and clearly didn't do a good enough job of proving they could be an alternative. They need an A-list leader like Manning... since they're essentially starting from scratch now.
The NDP seem to be in their own little world and getting their typical results in NE and central Edmonton.
