I think the results suggest that this was not so much a vote in favour of Alberta's PC party but rather a vote against the Wildrose party. I'm aware of many people who had never voted PC provincially in the past but elected to do so this time to ensure the Wildrose failed to gain power. The new PC's appeared to be more centrist than the perceived extreme right wing Wildrose who were financed by Calgary's big oil mafia. The Wildrose's public mouth piece Dave Rutherford almost had a stroke being unable to stomach the results.
