SD ALG (Sutton internal): Sutton +3

[Badger]

Taking the usual reduction in actual support for any party releasing an internal, plus the appropriate grain of salt, this would indicate the race is at least competitive. As in lean R at best for Noem.

How Can SD vote for a Dem Governor while ND kicks Heitkamp out by 12?

1. SD is to the left of ND
2. This is a gubernatorial race, not a federal one
3. Sutton has “charisma” and a “good story” or whatever it is that these asinine swing voters care about

Also, Heitkamp/Noem have vaginas while Cramer/Sutton do not.

I doubt Sutton could actually win if Heitkamp loses by double digits though.

Just stick to Mizzoulan's correct answer.
