What Kenney is, is the type of leader who can hold the PCs current base and recapture Wildrose supporters. Especially if the younger party's current affairs turns into an actual split or rebellion. Even without recapturing much of anything from the NDP's current polling, he would need only half of Wildrose's support to pull the PCs up to the 38% range, and not far from majority territory.
Kenney may not be the best choice, but he isn't the worst, nor even near the bottom.

I don't think that's necessarily true. The PCs gained a lot of panicked votes from the left during the previous election when the left became worried that the WRP were going to win the election.
