This is a wakeup call for Rick Berg and ND Republicans. Mason-Dixon is a well respected pollster, and if it found Congressman Berg losing to second-tier Democrat Heitkamp in a poll of likely voters then there is no doubt that picking up the ND Senate seat won't be the cakewalk we all thought it would be.

I’d like to see the party breakdown of this poll.

This was one of those purported “slam-dunk” races for the GOP. What’s happening up there in ND??

Clintonfatigued has been warning us for a while that the U.S. Senate race in ND was uncomfortably close, and I never paid it much heed. I certainly am now. If the GOP can’t win an open-seat Senate race in freaking North Dakota, how can it win races in MT, NM, WI and VA?

While I understand the polls, I disagree that they are any kind of harbinger right now, two things, 1. It’s summer. 2. While I’m not personally a big Romney supporter, I feel that the Tea Party is going to have coat tails, and it will be them that create a landslide for the republican party and against democrats. It’s just a feeling I have right now! Unfortunately we could have elected a real conservative this time around we should not have settled for a moderate north eastern republican. i.e. RINO.
Let’s hope we picked the right guy, and he’s more conservative than he appears.
