I have recently been thinking a lot lately about November's upcoming election and how this year's election is going to be a huge decision for are country and for our state of North Dakota as we are electing a senate seat and are also a governor position is also up for election. First we have our governor position which honestly looks like it will be a close call but it looks to me like jack our current governor is doing a good job with our state, and I am firm believer that if nothings wrong don't fix it. Our next race is Rick berg vs. Heidi Heitkamp which has really turned into a very dirty social media bashing, as the ads keep going back and fourth. I did say earlier why change something if it seems to be good be my opinion is that Rick Berg just seems like another republican thats main goal is to fight for his party and not his state. I recent ads by the democratic party it shows that Rick Berg voted against the highway two project which was much needed in western North Dakota, but then theirs Heidi who supports Obama and his policies like Obama care which might be a really bad thing for our nation. Either way you look at it both of theses candidates have their negatives and both have their positives, but either way the winner of this election will have a huge impact on our state. Finally, the most important election this year is going to be the presidential election were you have Mitt Romney going up against President Obama. This election is very important and could really effect our state as we our in a massive oil boom and Mitt Romney is all for exploring our natural resources while Obama is laid back and not as aggressive with oil production, which in turn could have big impact on our oil patch in western North Dakota. I am hostly not a huge fan of politics but these elections are very important, and could really change our nation for better or worse, the question you have to ask yourself is do you reelect a man who has done nothing in his first term or do you elect i guy with some good views but the downfall is he is a morman which is a really powerful religion which could be really scary electing someone that is that involved in such a powerful religion. all in all their are many different views out their and lets hep we pick the right per on cause these elections will really make a big impact on our state and country.
I'm not big into politics, either, but you bring up some interesting points. There are so many races--but only so little time to decide as we come upon the election. To start with the governor--I don't know or care about. Should I, of course, but I haven't been following that race. Rick and Heidi, on the other hand, I have been trying to keep up on. I don't like Berg and what he has to say, so I'm all for Heidi. Even though she sides with Obama--who I also side with. I have no doubts Heidi will win the spot, but only time will tell. Now, as for the presidential debate--there are so many things to consider, right? I feel like, yes, it all does effect me, but will more in the future rather than now. I read an article about deciding who to vote for and in it, there was a comment about Obama hasn't done anything to deserve a second term. The author argues that, it isn't about what Obama has or hasn't done in his four years. He does what he can, but no matter who takes the seat, the economy will balance itself out in due time--or it'll crash and burn all together--but regardless, it won't be the "man-in-charge" who has anything to do with it. Therefore, we shouldn't focus on that to decide who gets the presidency. Like I said before, though...only time will tell.
