Maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but if you call yourself a centrist and yet don't support either the Wildrose or the Tories, then I venture you're definition of 'Centrist' puts you 23.5 percentage points to the left of the the median Albertan voter according to the recent polls. If you're centrist by Albertan standards then you're likely in the right wing ranks of the PC party tent. That's likely the crux of this election and why the Wildrose stand a chance at winning a majority (Ie the middle of the road Tory is actually left of center in Alberta terms).
