Doug Dougherty: Both major party leaders are safe, for now, after byelection results in Alberta .

Dougherty says Naheed Nenshi's win in Edmonton-Strathcona was a sure thing for him as leader of the NDP .

He says the results would have been a blow to Nensh 's leadership if he'd lost Edmonton-Ellerslie , but the results wouldn't have been as bad for him if he had lost the other capital byelection in Ellerslie , a relatively new riding, having been held by the Liberals , the Conservatives and, for the last decade , by the NDP ..
