There won't be a last second shift from the NDP to the PCs this time around. Alison Redford was a VERY Red Tory running a campaign that was downright Liberal in 2012 (the PCs had the teachers, the unions, behind them and won't this time), and many people feared the Wildrose was a Tea Party style conservative party. The Liberals went from close to 30% in the last election to 10% in 2012. They flocked en masse to the PCs, but that bloc of voters is overwhelmingly dissatisfied with that decision now and will be looking elsewhere.
In 2012 you heard people say "I'll vote PC to keep the Wildrose out".
Now you're hearing those same people say "I'd rather the Wildrose than the darn PCs".
