I can pretty much guarantee that Prentice won't be running in that riding. Mainly for the reasons mentioned above, elbow is too much of a wild card with a strong liberal contingent and the backlash towards Redford makes it too much of a wildcard. My feeling is that it'll be somewhere in Calgary where there is a strong blue contingency and near where Prentice was an MP.
Because it's not going to be Prentice, that's why I think one of the liberals or alberta party could be ripe for a win. Unless the PCs send in a rockstar candidate, but I doubt that'll happen.
