Absolutely...if the campaigns could successfully rally the urban vote.
That's the only reason Stelmach won the leadership race. Rural and Northern Alberta were so finished with city slickers and Calgary boys, that they hit the polls in masses. Heck, these communities had the school bus drivers doing runs on election night. I'm pretty sure more people voted in Lac la Biche than some Calgary ridings. Lac La freakin Biche.
