Many have been speculating about the probability of a non-republican senator being elected into the South Dakota senate, which does not happen often as South Dakota is largely Republican. However the article found at the following link: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2014/senate/sd/south_dakota_ senate_rounds_vs_weiland-4091.html puts all of these claims to rest. The article provides that the race is between three main candidates: Rounds, Weiland and Pressler. This means that the likely winner will only need roughly 40% of the votes. The poles listed on the site state that Mike Rounds has won the hearts of 42% of Americans as of October 26th.
I do agree with the conservatives strategies of Republicans, so if Mike Rounds truly supports these ideals I definitely hope that the information of this site is accurate.
I hope Rounds win the Senate race. It will be interesting to see what he has to offer after his retiring from govenor three years ago. I do feel that Rounds has most of South Dakota on his side, so I have a feeling he will win.
ReplyDeleteWeiland is uncofortably close to Rounds in the predictor polls. I think Rounds will win, but Weiland's campaign is so much better than Rounds's. I hope Rounds wins but if he wins it will only because he is a well known republican.
ReplyDeleteI think barring a large group of people getting out and voting that were not expected that Rounds will win. It fascinates me that to win the senate race only 40% of the people in the state actually need to vote for you.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that so much money can be spent on elections. I wish people could be just presented with the facts and then make an educated vote instead of spending millions on ridiculous campaigns. The money could be put to much better use.
