I would guess that there is little to no chance that Redford gets either a higher precentage of the seats in the Leg than Ed did nor will she get a higher percentage of the popular vote. If that is the case, the PC's will have no choice but to turn on her and fire her after the election. A precedent has been set.

Generally the interest in running against a party leader is low. You are basically cannon fodder. Typically it will be a tough go, so it doesn't necessarily draw out the truly dedicated. As it is the PC running against Danielle isn't even taking any time off of work until the writ drops, which speaks volumes to me.
