The only way the PC's lose is if they pick a really crappy leader IMO. The only question will be how much of a mess is there to be cleaned up, it's looking like it will be pretty bad.

I don't even think he has to unite the two factions. All he has to do is provide enough leadership and provide a strong enough platform to woo previous PC voters back.
Not everyone who switched their vote from PC to either WR or NDP in the last election will stay in those camps. It was a protest vote that elected the NDP and they are fast on their way out with all of their screw ups.
