Do you then switch your vote back to the Libs, AP or ND's?
I'm sure that at least 10% of the 30% the PC's are polling at is support from moderate Libs and potential AP supporters. If they abandon the PC's they could get hurt really badly.

I think it's a much higher percentage than even that. The Liberals had 26.4% of the popular vote last election. If they're polling at 12-13% now and the NDP are polling about the same, it's pretty clear where the Liberal vote went - into Redford's pocket. Maybe even half of PC's polling numbers come from Liberal voters/supporters in the last election. It's pretty clear that the emergence of the Wildrose has taken all but the reddest of Tories out of the PC party and has gained the 'Stay-at-home' PCs that accounted for lower turnout in the last couple of elections.
