I have done some door knocking for campaigns and am pretty sure that when things are going well in Alberta most people simply do not care who the leader is unless they actively dislike their leader.
That said, my guess for replacement is Thomas Lukaszuk who comes off as capable but polarizing.

I'm not even sure that I would describe him as capable. He is definitely polarizing though, and I don't think he would stand a chance.

Voters' personal dislike of Redford is WR's only card of dethroning PC in 2 years. And that's why, funny as it may sound, WR must find a way to keep Redford in the premier's office over the next two years.

I actually think the best hope of the Wildrose is if a liberal party were to rise up and challenge somewhat on the left of the PCs. That is the easiest route for them anyway.
