I agree with elkhunter.
PC Minority.

PC's will win. Alberta is like turning a big ship without a rudder.

But if there is a big wind it could flip?

Hoping for WR majority, if PC's win I may just pack up and leave as Albertan's are hopeless. What more do you have to see from these corrupt cronies? The Wildrose is the best answer right now to Alberta's problems, and will fix the government. They want to restore the publics faith in politicians. What other party is saying that??

Ummmm, no. And even if disaster strikes and they do take power, they'll have a hell of a time restoring my faith in politicians.

The party I decided to support has 35 candidates.

Supposedly they are moderate.

I hope they have an influence.

Politics in Alberta are insane to begin with. Danielle Smith tweeted last night to never underestimate the PC politics of fear and ability to get out the vote. I don't see it this time.

I am calling an NDP minority with a Wildrose opposition. We may end up getting good governance under that scenario.

Sounds like people are getting out and voting. Something like 4x as many advanced votes cast as was in 2008. Not sure what it means, but I'm assuming its people looking for change and voting for anyone but the PCs.

If you break the numbers down, there were more people who voted in the advance polls this year, but they voted over 4 days. Take that extra day away and less people would have voted in the advance poll this time over 2012.

Also, up until 2008, you needed a reason to take part in the advance poll, now anyone can.

I don't know the numbers but I think it'll be a PC minority with an NDP official opposition.

This election is a nailbiter. Can't wait to see the outcome, see what Albertan's are thinking.

I'd like to see a minority, WR please.
