It certainly looks like the polls were right.

NDP is sweeping Edmonton and cleaning up big time in Calgary.

Prentice only leads by 6.4%, with 18/80 reporting in Calgary-Foothills.

The Services to the Persons minister lost 70-15 against NDP. In Edmonton, obviously.

The PCs are second in popular vote, but third in seat count. FPTP bites in the ass.

I think Hell has officially frozen over.
Anyone else see pigs flying across the skies right now?

I can't help but wonder how much of a bellweather this is for the nationwide election in October.

Far-right is not amused.

"Alberta is now the laughing stock of Canada"

"I wanna puke."

"Well, ndp voters, get ready for your so called change. Change from a good province to crap as the next 4 years they will lay waste to us all."

"Recession here we come. Sell your house before the plummet. Sell all your oil shares before they reneg on contracts. Move away to find a job. A sad, sad day in Alberta."

Several are calling Notley "the Red Queen."

PCs just suffered another big drop to 11. NDP at 56. Almost didn't notice AP coming off the map.

"he (Prentice) might no longer be the leader of the party within a matter of days"
Might as well commit seppuku at this point.

The Alberta Party's lost their seat, but Swann is hanging on. NDP leads 54-19-13, with Wildrose in second. Seems alright; the NDP will get a term or maybe two, the PCs will fall apart the way parties of power do when they no longer have it, and then Wildrose will storm into office and probably stay there too long as well.

You're forgetting to count seats that have been called for one party or another (just the NDP right now, actually). NDP leads 55-20-10-1-1 right now. Wildrose on double the seats PC have, even though they trail 25%-28% in the popular vote. Shades of 1993.

From a vote share point of view they have been stable for a while.  If this holds than the PC claim that the opinion polls underrated them and overrate NDP is correct.  It was just nowhere enough to save PC.

Was just looking at Wetaskiwin-Camrose when it went from PC to NDP, and brought the PC's seat count to single digits. lol

Gun to head: who wins Peace River?

Considering PCs lead by nine percentage points and have led there nearly all night (NDP was briefly ahead), probably them. Also, PCs are down to just nine seats right now. Ag's warning about how good vote distribution collapses at low numbers is looking prescient (though some projections had them in the low single digits; seems like they'll avoid that fate at least).

His own seat is far from safe now. It's a 3.8% margin with 30/80 in.

Good lead for NDP (300) in Dunvegan-Central Peace-Notley. Colin Piquette (son of a NDP MLA who did a scandal asking a question in French in the Assembly, years ago) leads by 600 votes, too.
