Based on lawn-sign mass, both Hehr and David Swann are looking strong. I wouldn't be shocked if there's a bloodbath elsewhere in Calgary, though (surprisingly) Norval Horner (the liberal candidate) appears to be winning the sign war in Calgary Currie by a significant margin, with Cusinato (PC) second and the Wild Rose candidate a distant third.
For whatever that's worth--counting lawn signs is of course not very scientific.
Currie's a funny riding--it's gone both PC and Liberal in the past 10 years, so I think it's fair to call it a "swing riding" in a structural sense. Given the overall weakness of the Liberals, it'd be reasonable to suppose that they will also lose Currie, which is why I've been surprised to see so many Horner lawn signs.
