I do agree with some of what you're saying there Bunk. The Wildrose has gone through a few iterations before finally getting this recent breakthrough. I guess part of the problem is that a name change doesn't necessarily mean anything though. The Alberta Party was supposedly going to be what the Liberals refused to become. I figure they're on pace for zero seats, or maybe one if there is something amazing somewhere.

Part of the Liberals problem was attitude though. You don't win an election in 28 days. If you want to win a riding you should've been out a year or two ago, especially when you're an underdog and trying to change public perceptions.

I also agree with you about 2008. That's a part of the reason why I think it's a little early for people to be writing the obituary for the PC's. The whole "we want change" has been heard before in these parts.
