There have been a lot of excellent candidates in Alberta who ran for other parties and thus were not elected.

The other point is that poor girl who booked a trip to Vegas, didn't think that she would win and went on the trip anyway. if I were running for the Liberals or NDP here I would do the same thing. How is she supposed to predict that people will flock to the NDP? Funny how no one seems to really care that most of the CPC candidates here didn't show up at any public forums, or like the aforementioned Kenny spent all of the campaign somewhere other than his riding. I get that she is a rookie, and rode the tide in....but they aren't exactly the first ones to benefit from the colour of their signs.

Not the same.
