I think you even said on twitter that you'd vote for him if you weren't Wildrose?

Actually what I said on twitter was; if for some reason I couldn't vote Wildrose, my vote would go to Liberal. Not Hehr specifically. Not that he's a bad guy, that just wasn't my specific reference.
Though after being at the local debate I couldn't vote for the Liberal. He was just too darn aggressive, to the point of being disrespectful.
Back to Hehr. I believe he is losing support for two reasons. One, his mayors run. Some don't like that he didn't step down, others don't like being sloppy seconds and not knowing if he will do it again. Two, as I understand it, he and his supporters have been telling people at the door he is willing to cross the floor to the PC's in minority situation. You either stand for something or nothing at all.
That last statement is even more true for Morton.
BTW: I never predicted a Blanchard win, just a Hehr loss.
