Can't take this anymore, I have to be up to feed my baby a couple times tonight. Hope to wake up to Premier Redford smiling on the cover of the Herald...

by JennyManyDots 10/2/2011 6:08:07 AM
All we can do now is get down on our knees and prey that all Doug's votes don't go to Mar.

by Bes5550 10/2/2011 6:08:11 AM
Which two polls are left to come in?

by Erin Despas 10/2/2011 6:08:14 AM
Based on what I just heard on Global do Albertans really believe that between the PC's and WRA we have two conservative parties? Please!

by Terry Wiens 10/2/2011 6:08:18 AM
@GlobalEdmonton. With this awful pc leadership chat going on...does this mean no SNL? #thisblows

by whsesean via twitter 10/2/2011 6:08:25 AM
did global expect this to drag on this long?

by - 10/2/2011 6:08:31 AM
stussijoy, that was our executive decision. SNL will air in its entirety as soon as we have a new premier-elect.

by Troy Reeb, VP Global News 10/2/2011 6:08:33 AM
Thank You Karyn Mulcahy

by Drew 10/2/2011 6:08:43 AM
If Mar gets in does anyone want to meet up and surrender out memberships together? I think it would send a message.

by Me 10/2/2011 6:09:00 AM
@VassyKapelos will a new leader be chosen for sure tonight? Or could a third vote between Mar and Redford happen?

by erinb_911 via twitter 10/2/2011 6:09:02 AM
@VassyKapelos Morton sure says how it is. Wow the first to say about eddies mistakes. Go vasssssy !!!

Alberta Education's recent deal with the Calgary Catholic School Board to swap an old school for a brand new one in the northwest subdivision of Hidden Valley has left some people wondering whether all neighbourhoods are created equal. At the beginning of September, residents of Hidden Valley got the news that a new school would open in their neighbourhood in 2000. Good news for them, but bad news for the occupants of an independent school whose building got traded away to Alberta Education in the bargain. As far as anyone knows, it is just a coincidence that the new school is being built to the benefit of people in the riding of Education Minister Gary Mar.

by JennyManyDots 10/2/2011 6:09:10 AM
Agreed on the "can't stand Ted" comment. I like Gary Mar but Ted Morton throwing his suppport behind him after the first ballot didn't do Gary any favors.

by po'd 10/2/2011 6:09:21 AM
Hopefully, tonight is the swan song for the olde boys network! Power to the people!

@VassyKapelos Can we please hurry, I'm tired and want to go to bed!! #andthepremieris

by esther_madziya via twitter 10/2/2011 6:09:48 AM
@VassyKapelos Can u do something about speeding up the last 2 areas to get their numbers. Let's move it along! Great job covering tonight!

by Bes5550 12:08 AM
Agree!!! For our future!!!

by whatever 10/2/2011 6:09:53 AM
I'm hoping Mar has run out of buses

by Terry Wiens 10/2/2011 6:09:55 AM
We're still waiting on two polls to report. After that, second choice ballots will be counted. #ab #pcldr

by Global Edmonton via twitter 10/2/2011 6:10:36 AM
I will withdraw my membership if Redford wins....

by whatever 10/2/2011 6:11:01 AM
Ted Morton is scary!

by talkin 10/2/2011 6:11:04 AM
LMAO @Terry!

@VassyKapelos Thomas needs a new hair style ;)

by ShamiSandhu via twitter 10/2/2011 6:13:54 AM
Another reason to remember that exercising your right to vote is important at all times. I wonder how many people did not vote because they assumed the front runner would win?

by ritadelongchamp 10/2/2011 6:14:02 AM
i guess this is going to be a long night

by @norm_o 10/2/2011 6:14:10 AM
gotta wonder about the folks in those last two ridings ... come on, guys, it's just arithmetic. if it takes you guys five hours to tally up the check marks, i'm not sure your votes deserve to be counted ... (just kidding)

by tired!! 10/2/2011 6:14:14 AM
are they already counted or do we have to wait for the second choice to be counted?

by - 10/2/2011 6:14:17 AM
Thomas Likaszuk said Gary's campaign was flawless... The Busses were improper, but I guess if you are part of the old boys club there are certain... Liberties...

by Me 10/2/2011 6:14:19 AM
I think those threatening to withdraw their memberships if so and so wins give us a good idea of how they think democracy works

by Terry Wiens 10/2/2011 6:14:20 AM
@whatever - Me Too!

by po'd 10/2/2011 6:14:26 AM
@GlobalEdmonton ANNOUNCED not counted #pcdlr

by jole via twitter 10/2/2011 6:14:50 AM
PC Party president apologizing for vote counting going so late. #ab #pcldr

Since returning to Alberta four years ago the only people left here who don't realize we are the rednecks of old are our old politicians

by Terry Wiens 10/2/2011 6:19:32 AM

by whatever 10/2/2011 6:19:41 AM
What could possibly be taking so long?

by James - hopefully they've... 10/2/2011 6:19:44 AM
if you can't tally the numbers, it's no wonder ya' can't balance the budget ... lol

by tired!! 10/2/2011 6:19:47 AM
Many don't have an extra $5 to vote.

by jane 10/2/2011 6:19:51 AM
Go Allison.

by Storychaser 10/2/2011 6:19:53 AM
Well one does need a sense of humour to maintain faith in Alberta politics

by Terry Wiens 10/2/2011 6:19:55 AM
