Here is a list of the top 10 safest Conservative MPs as measured by their margin of victory in the 2004 General Election. These are the MPs that we need to do a lot of the supplemental campaign tour to bolster the parallel Leader’s tour in the next election.

Kevin Sorenson – Crowfoot – 90.40%

Monte Solberg – Medicine Hat – 85.68%

Bob Mills – Red Deer – 84.20%

Leon Benoit – Vegreville—Wainwright – 84.05%

Ted Menzies- Macleod – 83.82%

Dale Johnston – Wetaskiwin – 83.80%

Rob Merrifield – Yellowhead – 83.24%

Myron Thompson – Wild Rose – 82.09%

Jason Kenney – Calgary Southeast – 76.96%

Brian Pallister – Portage-Lisgar – 73.09%

There are, of course, a lot of other ‘safe’ seats. These are just the top 10. Any margin of victory in excess of about 55% is generally ‘safe’, especially given the current Liberal meltdown.
