Umm.. I'm pretty sure going from 34% of the popular vote 40% of the popular vote would be a 6 point swing. You're right that it would matter where those supporters were at. If they're Calgarians concerned about PC fiscal mismanagment, it's a WR majority. If they're people from south of Lethbridge who want AB to separate, the WR is screwed.
40% could easily be a majority, especially if the left manages to get their act together and takes some of the centre left vote away from the PCs.
