This shouldn’t be a difficult race. Obama seems to be hugely unpopular in North Dakota.

Any difference between Kalk and Cramer?

So it's a battle between Public Service Commissioner Brian Kalk (officially endorsed party candidate) vs. Public Service Commissioner Kevin Cramer (running without the state party's blessing)

I don't know anything about either candidate, but as a rule I prefer the GOP primary voters decide who the nominee should be without the state party officials trying to anoint someone. I find it odd that it's a "rare scenario" for someone to run in the ND primary without the state GOP's endorsement. North Dakota is almost entirely a 1-party Republican dominated state, so if the party endorsed candidate is normally "expected" to run opposed, then why bother to have elections?
