As T99 said, this party had 2 seats 15 years ago. Baby steps in some people's mind, but more then a reconfirmation this time around...building trust and familarity in Harper and the Conservative party.

This 2 seats crap is absolute BS. This Conservative party is the merging of the Reform party and the Progressive Conservatives. Those giving the 2 seats figure are obvious homers wearing their rose coloured glasses.
I don't think "trust and familiarity" is going to go much further. Albertans think that Easterners are going to swap out their liberal values if they just got to know Harper better. It's not going to happen. Under the absolute worst leadership the Liberal party has most likely ever seen, the Conservatives were unable to get a majority. I think we may have seen the high water mark for the Conservatives tonight.
