Quote:
McCormick thinks the Conservatives will be most worried about their eroding rural support, which has propelled them to victory during their 38-year reign over Alberta.
"The rural ridings have always been the ace in the hole for the Conservatives," McCormick said.
"That's why in some ways the Alliance is their nightmare; it's a right-wing party with strong rural appeal."."

Always found it strange how in a province where the vast majority of the population lives in 4-5 cities, it's the rural folks who seem to hold all the power.
Not really sure if Alberta needs more right-winger farmer style politics though....
