But CaptainCrunch is only looking at half the equation. The NDP have taken an obviously bad hand given the global economic situation, and still managed to fumble it. That's great for opening the door. But either Jean and Wildrose or whomever takes over for the PCs needs to set themselves up to storm through it. So in that vein, the PC's really need to get off their asses and elect a permanent leader.

I'm just wondering if Edmonton has taken the same level of hit as Calgary has, this city has been gutted because of the head office situation, The trickle down effect might hit Edmonton as hard this year.
Plus Edmonton tends to be more blue collar and its the union home of the province.
If the NDP is forced to go after Union roll backs in their something like 170 negotiations this year, the Unions might turn on them.
