The Wildrose has no real leadership election history to make a comparison.

The NDP acclaimed Pannu in 2000 and Mason in 2004 so it's pretty hard to make any recent comparisions there either.

You could compare to the Liberals since they have some relatively recent numbers.
2004 Taft total votes approx 2750
2008 Swann total votes approx 4575
2011 Sherman total votes approx 8640
Their numbers seem to be almost doubling each time.

Edit: I should add that none of the other parties have had a leadership candidate even close to as high profile as Prentice. Former federal cabinet minister holding top portfolio's such as Indian Affairs, Industry and Environment.
