She is better off going for the U.S. House seat again. She stands a better chance since that was the office she held.

Awesome, has my complete support! She'd make a great Gov.

I hope Shantel Krebs runs for Noem's house seat.

Hope the DCCC looks into Noem's seat. They can't afford to ignore opportunities like this.

Agreed. Then that person should run for Senate later on.

Considering the conservative nature of this state, the Republican primary is the only real contest in this gubernatorial election.

South Dakota has always been friendly to Democratic Senators and Congressmen, but not governors. I think the Democrats will go all in on the House race, but ignore the governor race.

Which is odd because its generally the opposite in most other places, but not the Dakotas.

I'm probably going off topic, but why is the House seat in Montana unwinnable for the Democrats? The Democrats don't seem to have much trouble with the Senate seats though.

Once an incumbent becomes entrenched it's hard to knock them off - Denny Rehberg became entrenched quickly, while Zinke got pretty lucky with two bad years for Democrats in a row, and at this point probably couldn't get knocked off even if the Dems tried in 2018. Luckily, Zinke is probably running for Senate, so Montana Dems might have a shot.

Depends on who they can get and who the GOP puts up. If the GOP gets a row officer to run for the House seat then the Democrats don't stand much of a chance.

Rick Weiland should run for her house seat, he was awesome, just lost because it was a bad year for democrats overall and there were two people who split the vote. But yeah Noem is a safe bet for Governor. She'll win easily.

Weiland did pretty good for a guy who opposes the Keystone pipeline.

They have incentives to put their most talented politico in the Senate race.
