Congrats Heidi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every newspaper endorsed the Republican candidate (Berg), there wasn't a single independent poll that put him behind, Romney won the state by 20 points, the minimum margin of victory for Republicans in statewide elections outside of the Senate rate was 13 points, and Berg still lost. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how this election gets interpreted, because in ND it's going down as one of the biggest upsets in state history.

This couldn't happen to a better person. Congrats to Heidi Heitkamp on a hard-fought campaign!!!
