Personalities matter in North Dakota, as conservative as it is politically, and Heidi Heitkamp is a more appealing personality than Rick Berg, which is why this race is more difficult than had been expected. That being said, if Republicans there work and turn out, they’ll win this race.
Berg was my State Senator in Fargo, and a neighbor. He’s a normal, straight ahead moderately conservative guy. I’ll be sending him a check.
He can beat Heitkamp, who is just the favorite of people who vote for a candidate’s plumbing or who farm the mailbox.
1. Look, Conrad is QUITTING, ( er, retiring) because he didn't think he had a good chance to win, so this Heidi person is gonna do better than Conrad? Same reason that Dorgan quite 2 years ago..he was gonna lose.
2. Obama is SOOOO unpopular in ND that to think that heidi could win requires the assumption that, what, 40% of ND voters SPLIT their ballots..yeh, right
