And by conservative, I mean fiscally conservative. I couldn't care less what gays do to themselves or if they want to get married.

Well one of the WRA leadership candidates (Danielle Smith) has indicated that the Liberals are more fiscally conservative than the current PC's, so indeed these are interesting times in Alberta.
The WRA might be more fiscally conservative (although this term is more and more misleading because no one thinks that they are fiscally unrestrained, especially in times of recession and credit crisi, but they are also more socially conservative.
On this riding I see more signs on front lawns for the PC's than anyone else by a long shot. I don't think that the other parties are going to mount enough of a challenge there and I specifically don't think that Hinman will win. He is simply not charismatic enough, right First Lady?
