It would be a mistake to describe her as a spending liberal in PC clothing.

Thats exactly what makes her so dangerous for the other parties IMO. Shes liberal socially, and conservative fiscally. She doesn't have the baggage of others who claim this though, and has real world experience that looks really compelling. She's a great face for the PCs at this point because its a drastic change and thats going to be difficult for the Wildrose to combat. Suddenly the change mantra is gone and all thats left is the increasingly distant memory of the royalty issue, and not a lot else. The problem for the WRA is that Redford is more Maggie Thatcher than Barrack Obama. She means business, has the credentials to back it all up and not only represents potential change but she's already there.
