ND-SEN: But you are, Blanche, you are

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Ye gods, how is it possible that such a Republican state could have such an overwhelmingly terrible Republican bench?

It hasn't been Republican for terribly long. People have to remember that the upper plains only started turning blood-red in the 1990s, and that's taken pretty long to filter up to the federal level.

"Dakota Nice" is a thing, guys. It's not as famous as Minnesota Nice, but we're decent people too.

I think it has a multiplier effect - once when I was travelling in Minnesota I stayed with a couple who had been in St. Paul for some time but were born and raised in East River. It was truly overwhelming.

Heitkamp's approvals have shot up since she started campaigning.

Though I wonder if this race ends up being a joke could Heidi pull Bjorkman over the line in the AT race?  

Bjorkman is running for SD-AL, not ND-AL. That being said, if Cramer makes the lethal mistake of running against Heitkamp, his ensuing destruction might make the House race uncomfortably close for his GOP successor. Considering what a disaster the NDGOP is turning out to be, it really wouldn't surprise me.

I think you're neglecting Heitkamp's HYPER COATTAILS. The energy from the ND-SEN is gonna have a ripple effect across the entire upper plains. Calling it rn: SD-AL, MT-AL are Likely D and the next provincial elections in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan are in a dead heat between the NDP and Liberals.

I've never related so much to a Senator before.

ICONIC.

Damn, I actually have to like Heidi Heitkamp now.

I don't think you all understand, "We all like her, but..." is Upper Midwest for "This worthless excuse of a human being."

"We all like her, but..." cuts DEEP.
