From what I saw, Notley didn't come off as an extremist, which is probably pretty important.

If the PCs lose then either the NDP or Wildrose win.  That government, if NDP, will likely last one term (possibly two) thanks to how right-wing Alberta is.  That means that likely either the PCs or Wildrose win next.  No governing party in Alberta has ever returned to government.  That means that the PCs are probably (the probability of this increases depending on how much seats they lose) going to go in a slow tailspin until they die.  A Wildrose government?  I don't want that.  Correct my presumptions here if they are wrong, but that's why I'm currently backing Jim Prentice.
W-w-w-hat?

I think it's been firmly established that everyone on this forum is a hack of the finest variety.

Add this one to the pile of reasons not to call early elections.

Are you going to submit a reasonable projection if the polls continue to show the NDP with a large lead?

My untrained eyes suggest to me that those are pretty good numbers for the NDP, especially among federal Liberals.

But dear Hatman, the Yukon isn't a province; it's a federal territory!

Meh, still a 57.4% chance of a PC majority.

This had to happen during AP season, didn't it? Oh, well. Looking forward to either a very fun election, or perhaps not much fun at all if the NDP do end up winning a historic majority (though the patterns will be interesting to observe).
How is the NDP winning not fun? Ending 44 years of one party rule is the best kind of election.

I think extrapolating the results from the 44 votes counted is a bit hasty.

The PCs in the livechat seem inconsolable.

The PC Cabinet is getting absolutely decimated.

It should be easy for Prentice to hold onto the leadership of the PCs considering all of his fellow MLAs are being defeated en masse. Who's even left to challenge him?

How many PC appointees in the provincial government are going to lose their jobs?

(Including Prentice) what is the percentage of incumbents that won't be returning to the legislature?
