North Dakota-a red state-just elected a Democrat to the senate. With what’s at stake they don’t deserve that pipeline. Let Obama have his way on taxes. Give him everything he wants with a sunset provision in 2016. The country will go to hell in the meantime-then America can see what he’s done. May be too late.
As for the nodaks electing a dim senator - I have no knowledge, but in my experience, from having lived in several states, the candidates offered up by the GOP are generally far from stellar. That seems to be their only consistency.
