A couple of interesting things I heard on QR77:

* the PCs had internal polling on Sunday that showed them in majority territory; judging by the number of calls I received on Sunday and Monday, I'm guessing the WR had similar information

* the Wildrose spin is that the NDP/Lib vote is down 99k and it all went to the PCs so strategic voting worked

* Vitor Marciano commented that at one campaign stop, Danielle announced an ethical violation from a backbench PC MLA to which the media did not ask a single question, instead focusing on the two wingnuts. Back on the bus, when asked about why the media didn't ask questions, the response was "well, we all know they're crooked; my editor is more interested in you guys since you're poised to form government." Not one article was written about this "ethical violation" and apparently the WR was sitting on a few others that never saw the light of day. They decided to try and switch the focus back on their five main platform planks.

* Marciano concluded they lost because of Huntsperger-Leech.
