I think that it would be agreat success if they were able to get 6-8 seats
I think the vast majority of people who supported the WAP in the polls did so because they disapproved of the direction of the PCs, not because of approval of the WAP policies - many of which I view as being overly socially conservative, something that may play positively in the rural but will cost them big in the cities.

If there was someone running in this race that has the potential to revitalize the party I may agree with you but considering the blandness of the candidates it seems no matter who wins the PC's are going to be left with a Stelmach type leader.
Sure there might not be as much of a backlash as there was with Stelmach but I don't see any of these guys bringing a lot of life or people back the PC's.
