South Dakota may be turning Democrat

For many years, South Dakota has been strongly Republican, but in this year's elections, Democrat Rick Weiland is gaining support. And now a third candidate, Larry Pressler, is running as an independent, making it even harder for the other two candidates. As the fight for the Senate ensues, South Dakota is getting a lot of attention, because what happens in our state may have a drastic impact in the Senate and the future of the country.

Although I support Rounds, I think that it's good that there's more competition now because now more people have their voices heard and it looks more like a democracy rather than a single-party dictatorship.
