The last week, the media coverage seemed to imply to me that the PCs would lose seats. In the end that didn't happen.
Were the media playing up weakness in PC support to try and make the election more interesting than it really was?
Were the opposition trying to play up the "softness" in order to make it look like they had a chance (and perhaps getting the media to buy into the idea)?
Did the Wildrose and Alberta Federation of Labour TV ads attacking Stelmach backfire?
