AHC: Keep Cool with Kim Campbell

Recently, I have become very interested in Canadian politics. My knowledge is cursory at best, so I apoligize to any Canadian who might be offended by my ignorance.

How could Kim Campbell remain Prime Minister? She had high approval ratings up until the election, and seemed to escape the stigma attached to Mulroney.

Besides not airing the "Face" ad, not to mention Campbell's abrasive personality, is their any way that she remain as PM?
 
Well considering the epic scale of her defeat and the structural reasons behind it would need an act of God. That said a few minor butterflies could make the wipe-out slightly less horrific very easily.
 
As I said, I don't think her doom was imminent, despite Mulroney's unpopularity. She enjoyed very good approval ratings up until the end.
 
I don't think she could remain PM due to the electors mood at the time but if she hadn't been put in the PM chair after Mulroney left and instead waited till the next election as leader of the PCP *maybe* she could have gotten elected
