Now a week later Len Webber has finally got his signs out, but they are only on public property. I haven't seen one PC sign on a homeowners lawn, but yet a whole crapload of Wildrose signs in front lawns. The best case scenario for the PCs would be that there's enough soft support to pull it off. It appears though that no one in my hood is proud enough to flash a PC sign.

It just seems to me that the Wildrose were prepared to campaign hard, and the PCs were arrogant and complacent and assumed that in formerly safe Calgary ridings that they could just cruise to victory without much effort.

No question about it IMO. Just looking at all the polls and recent trends, WR is a lock to demolish the PC's in Calgary.

If the WR can make any kind of upward trend in Edmonton...then they will have an easy majority if everything else stays status quo.
