Add to that the fact that Kent is well respected amongst his peers, works incredibly hard for his riding and is everywhere for everything in that riding and he is hard to beat. Could it happen? Anything is possible. I really doubt it though. If the Liberals are polling at 9% in Calgary the Liberals problem is that 5% of that 9 is voting for Kent. For a little corroborated evidence look no further than the PC candidate; the PCs have some impressive candidates in Calgary but against Kent Hehr they had to parachute a young guy in from NE Calgary to run. It sometimes feels like there are no Liberals in Calgary, but trust me. The ones that are here know the drill and he'll hold that riding.
I don't know the details for Swann, but I would guess its similar.

I would not be surprised at all if liberal MLA Darshan Kang gets elected again in Calgary-McCall. I really have no idea who's going to win, it really could be any of the three parties.
I'm not sure if the party is the thing many constituents vote for in Calgary -McCall. I saw one projection that had Kang as the only Liberal MLA elected. I don't think that's totally out of the question.
I'm again unsure of where my vote will go.
