That would pretty much be heaven on earth if that were to happen.
If one reads the comments section, they observe that pro Democrat trolls are their usual insulting selves. The woe is us factor is also on full display.

From the article:
“In North Dakota, as I write this, the Democrats have no candidates at all for the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, the gubernatorial race, the state auditor race, the insurance commissioner race, the treasurer race, or the Public Service Commission race.
It’s February, and North Dakota Democrats have not a single statewide candidate in the race. And I bet that if you asked a rank-and-file member of the party in the state about who might run for any of those seats they’d be hard pressed to even give you a name.”
My take is that Dakota Republicans aren’t flaming rightwingers. Just good people who properly represent their citizens. Compare that with what happens in the Twin Cities and Minnesota when we turn the keys of the government entirely over to Democrats.

Interesting note in there…it looks like South Dakota (and maybe North) only have a part time legislature. Very efficient. A while back, someone did a study of the Minnesota legislature. Most Republicans had outside fulltime employment. Most Democrats in the capital had no job (except their state legislature job). Could that come into play?

I will dispute something in the article. They claimed that the Dakotas had shifted right. Instead, I would say that nationally the Democrats have shifted far more left than the Republicans have shifted right, and that fact has killed the viability of the Democrats in most states.
Can you imagine a JFK or a Franklin Roosevelt actually endorsing a “Democratic Socialist”? Yet that’s what the Democrats are doing this year. I can’t see either of those two Democratic icons even approving of a third of Obama’s agenda, either.
