The Senate race in South Dakota is heating up with three candidates that have the potential to win. An article from the Huffington post (Link) gives an unbiased guide to how each candidate feels about certain issues. Going over the answers to each question that was given to each candidate really helped gain perspective on the race. Looking at these, one can see that each candidate is very loyal to the beliefs of their respective parties with the Independent Pressler leaning more towards a Democratic stance. The issues discussed included a wide variety of issues from climate change legislation to gay marriage to health care legislation.
Overall, the article is a great guide to voters as it clearly states the opinions of the candidates in a way that voters can easily understand. I will now be able to vote with more confidence since I know how each candidate feels about issues that matter to me. This election will be influential as the balance in the Senate may be shifting greatly shown in the following graphic (Link).
I am disappointed that I will not be able to vote in this election. After looking at the link, I can say that I would definitely vote for Weiland, not just because he is the Democratic candidate but because I support many of his responses. I can also see why Pressler has so much support- he appears to be compromising well between both parties.
