87% of the gop vote. Usually the dems have the harder time holding that much of their party voters.

Obama obviously isn't going to go to ND since it's a red state where he doesn't have enough popularity to help her, but Bill might have more crossover appeal to independents and moderate Republicans who are troubled by Berg's extremism.

Bill will be in Las Vegas for Obama tomorrow and in Arizona for Carmona on Wednesday, but perhaps he could add ND to his schedule?
