Rick Berg has led Earl Pomeroy for several months now, often polling over 50%. This race looks promising.

Having somehow captured the congressional/senate seats of North and South Dakota, by running candidates that pretend to be normal until elected,has been huge boost to the statist agenda. Hopefully, that will end for good this election.

If this was a democrat win, 53 to 44, they would consider it a blowout. So, in my opinion, this was a blow out. First of many to come.

Finally! It will be great to see Pomeroy get the boot! And add to this, Byron Dorgan’s retirement - the people of North Dakota might finally elect someone that actually represents them!

“This race looks promising.”
“Promising”? It looks in the bag. I’m not saying that Pomeroy can’t possibly win, but Berg is a HUGE favorite right now. Berg has been up by comfortable margins for months now, there are almost no undecideds, and Hoeven is going to get 75% at the top of the ballot. The only question in my mind is whether Berg wins by 10% or 15%.

Never forget that Pomeroy voted for Obamacare. It’s payback time.
To: Clintonfatigued
Pomeroy must not be bringing home the bacon like he has, or ND would never turn on him otherwise.

An Obama’s 7 point win of course was a landslide.

“Slightly ahead” means it’s within stealing margin for Pomeroy. Be on the look-out.
To: Clintonfatigued
Pomeroy had the misguided impression that he could be Obama’s puppet and keep his job.
Bye, bye Earl!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: Last Dakotan
By forcing Earl to vote for Obamacare, Nancy killed his career. Pomeroy has a megabucks lobbying job lined up. Got tired of screwing the taxpayers, decided to cash in.

up by 9 with a 4.5% margin of error is outside the MOE. That is a SAFE win.
