The ground is frozen, making the planting of lawn signs difficult.

It's pretty hard to have lawn signs without lawns?

Although its Congressional delegation of three is Democratic, North Dakota remains a predominantly Republican state. "People here send Democrats to Washington to make sure the money comes back to the state," Mr. Thompson said, "and then want Republicans to manage it once it's back here."

Even the state's Democrats admit that they'd rather have Republicans managing the people's money! ROFLOL! Now THAT's funny! Thanks for posting this. On a related note, somebody emailed me yesterday or today that the state's attorney general has ruled that Weasley Clark's telemarketing calls violated the state's law against recorded messages. In ND, political calls are not exempted from the do-not-call and no recorded call registry.

So, Mr. Potter thinks he might vote for Kucinich.

And Mr. Potter is raising funds to restore the fort from whence Custer rode with his troops to be massacred.

Mr. Potter is obssessed with disaster and lost causes!

I live in Minnesota-But I am familiar with North Dakota-I have a bad feeling that Bush will lose North Dakota-I predict that will be the "Red-Blue" surprise of this election. Conversely, I think Bush will win Minnesota.

"We're finally being recognized as part of the 50 United States, that we do exist and that there are people who live here."

Take a perfectly good state 'not' on the map, add a bunch of national politicians....

What do you get?

Dakotans--both North and South are a cantankerous bunch politically. We send people the likes of Tom Daschle and George McGovern to Washington, but voted nearly 2 to 1 for Bush on 2000. Maybe its the cold getting to our brains.

Any fool who wants to do away with the Electoral College (I predict more calls for its elimination after the election regardless of outcome), needs to remember stories like this. ND will never see another nationwide candidate enter its state again if the calls to eliminate the EC are successful. Same goes with other less populated states like Montana and others. As a matter of fact, I'd predict Dem candidates would be electioneering in about 5 of the 50 states if they can giet this abortion of a proposal passed.
