Did the Wildrose and Alberta Federation of Labour TV ads attacking Stelmach backfire?

The media, especially CBC is very liberal or left wing. Of course they were going to portray things in a different light. I almost fell for it as well. Thinking that the large influx of new Albertans from other left leaning parts of Canada would vote for the Liberals or NDP. One has to wonder if these new Albertans in fact lean to the right?
