Not to derail the conversation, but ThreeHundredEight has an updated seat projection and analysis on the election so far.

Interesting trends between the three main areas in the Province, with The WRP plateauing in Edmonton, about to plateau in Calgary and still soaring in Rural Alberta.

It's going to be curious to see how this all plays out. My take is that we're going to see a bit of a downturn in week two for the WRP in Calgary and Edmonton. I can't see a way that the PCs get completely shut out in Calgary, especially with the Premier in Calgary Klien, or other candidates such as McIver and Jansen not getting in. I'd also be shocked if Hehr isn't re-elected in Calgary. (That being said, I don't have boots on the ground in Calgary so I don't know what's really going on).

But the other outcome which might be interesting if this start to soften or plateau in regards to the WRP in these two cities, is we could have a very definitive divide between the rural areas and urban areas.
