we have thousands of job openings in north dakota today. but almost every day the national media asks me if it is not all due to the oil boom in northwestern north dakota. i enjoy telling them that the county with the most job openings is not among western oil counties, but the counties surrounding fargo, our largest city and on the opposite side of the state. our technology parks around our research universities create great jobs by the thousands. advanced manufacturing as jobs in north dakota while most of the nation has lost manufacturing jobs. over the last 10 years, north dakota has been no. 1 in the nation in income and job growth. according to the u.s. chamber of commerce. why is our national economic policy on the wrong track? there are two main reasons. first, the federal government is unnecessarily adding to the cost of living and the cost of doing business in america. just one example is their cost of energy. the price of gasoline is rising rapidly because we continue to depend on foreign oil. it is now within our reach to become

. >> hi, i am jack dalrymple, governor of north dakota. where i live, we run government with common sense. we don't spend more money than we collect in revenue each year. we don't have generally obligation debt. and we only borrow when we have identified a revenue source to pay it back. these are big ropes why north dakota is doing so well compared to the rest of the nation. we have the lowest unemployment rate of all 50 states at 3.2%, and our prude fiscal management has allowed us to lower taxes each of the last three lidge slave sessions. we have lowered substantially our real estate taxes, our individual income taxes and even corporate income taxes. our growing budget surpluses allow us to make large investments in infrastructure and job growth. think of the wise investments our country could be making right now if the federal budget was managed as carefully. as a nation, what progress has been made to balance our annual budget deficit? have any real spending reductions been proposed by the democratic majority in the senate? has presid

[ cheers and applause ] >> and what cash ann said it right. what a great night. we are so excited to be in the bay state tonight, celebrating with family, with friends who have worked just tirelessly on this campaign. and of course it is such an on or to have the citizens that i served as governor as part of our cause. your support really means affirming to ann and me and i am not going to let you down. i am going to get this nomination. >> tonight, we are doing some counting, we are counting up the delegates for the convention and it looks good and counting down the days until novembe

and massachusetts, santorum has the green states, north dakota, oklahoma, tennessee gingrich won his adoptive state of georgia more now from foxs doug luzader on cap till hill. >> -- capitol hill. >> mitt romney did what he needed to do but this is not a resounding super tuesday victory, so the long slog continues. >>> most of america, together let's fight for the america we love. >> a call for unity but that still seems to be the missing element for mitt romney's campaign overall he picked up six super tuesday states massachusetts vermont, virginia idaho, alaska and the most watched race of the night ohio his win there came with the barest of margins just one point over rick santorum, despite flooding the state with money and santorum laid claim to three states last night tennessee, oklahoma, and north dakota. >> we have won in the west, the midwest and south and we are ready to win across this

the state of north dakota is currently experiencing an oil boom in its formation. we have doubled our oil production in the last four years and are about to become the second largest oil producing state behind only texas. but we cannot effectively market our crude oil domestically without a large north-south pipeline. north dakota oil producers were scheduled to feed the keystone pipeline with 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day. now we will not be able to supply the choice american markets because president obama says he needs more time to study keystone. the fact is he has had over three years to study this issue. congress should steph in and mass the measure which would authorize the keystone project. it's the common sense thing to do. the other key to north american energy independence is the rapid development of natural gas. production from shale, the e.p.a. is threatening to regulate this production out of existence by forcing rules that end hydraulic fracturing. in our part of the country, hydraulic fracturing takes place two miles below the surface of the

with only a three percent unemployment rate i mean is it just because it's north dakota. i think that plays a huge role i mean i know that it's kind of funny to say that but who really wants to move to north dakota i'm not trying to say north dakota is a bad place but most people are not willing to move to locations like that just for work and also keep in mind like north dakota has the population of washington d.c. north dakota isn't going to save us from the economic crisis or the huge financial burden that people in our generation have right now thanks to student loan debt there needs to be a better solution to the problem so and also people you know little how expensive it is to move to another state moving to north dakota is also going to be a financial burden just because the cost of housing alone and also people from small towns necessarily don't have enough money saved up to relocate to a big city like los angeles or new york i can speak from experience last year i was considering a move to new york you know her there my career and i was like yeah that's not going

now north dakota.arlier won vermont, his home state of massachusetts, and virginia where only he and ron paul were on the ballot. gingrich won in georgia. we're waiting for idaho and alaska. north dakota finally, we have made the projection, north dakota, rick santorum wins. so it's three wins so far for santorum. three wins right now for mitt romney. but we're going to be waiting for ohio. right now, santorum, santorum has a slight lead in ohio right now. but it could be the tiebreaker, a very significant tiebreaker in ohio right now. i want to go to dana bash in cincinnati, hamilton county in ohio. tell our viewers what's going on over there because this race is really tight. santorum slightly ahead. >> this race is really tight. he's slightly ahead on the state level, but here in very, very important hamilton county, he's not. with about half of the votes in to hamilton county, mitt romney is winning by about 3,700 votes. he's got 46%, and rick santorum has about 35%. so mitt romney is doing well he

2012, oil production in north dakota increased by 75%. mean it is growing just incredibly rapidly. it can't sustain that kind of growth rate, but the amount of oil they are producing in north dakota is truly impressive, especially the rapid increase. >> so the obvious question is why. what are they doing and what does that tell you about that part of the country, what's there >> they are using newer technology, it's i had drawlic fractu -- hydraulic fracturing. it is being able to use hydraulic fracturing and drilling together to access oil that -- they knew it was oil but tightly locked together troing by using i he ining hydraulic f during they can get this oil. there's more shale formation ages round the country. it's similar to the marcellus shale in pennsylvania and new york where they produce a lot of natural gas. so what that means is that we can be producing a lot more oil and natural gas around the country in areas that we couldn't just a few years ago because of new technology. >> we're talking with daniel simmons with the insti

up in northwest north dakota but they have trouble.hey have trouble getting investors to come here, why? because they believe, they believe the government is going to shut them down. >> the guy is lying. he's absolutely lying. he must think nobody ever been to north dakota, i have, they have damn good goose hunting. i know the state. the problem is north dakota is not a problem with the epa. the problem is this, housing and infrastructure. they can't keep up with all the jobs being created in the state of north dakota because of the oil boom. in fact, nation-wide, there is more drilling now than during the bush administration. but of course president obama is not getting any credit for that, either because he has the epa in the way. today, congress and darrell issa fell over himself trying to give bush credit for all the drilling. >> bush opened up areas to drilling and drillers became more efficient, they never hit a dry hole, more extracted from existing wells the president is benefitting from that. with lower amounts of permits, are

the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: madam president, i rise in support of this amendment, which authorizes the keystone -- the presiding officer: will the senator hold for a minute while the senate chamber gets in order. the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: madam president, i rise to speak in support of this amendment which would authorize the keystone x.l. pipeline project to move forward. it provides an authorization after more than three and a half years of study. it incorporates all of the safeguards that have been developed through the environmental impact statement process with both e.p.a. and the department of state, and it allows whatever time may be necessary for rerouting in nebraska. so it addresses the concerns that have been raised, as far as the environmental impact statement, but authorizes that the project can proceed. this project will bring 830,000 barrels a day of crude to our refineries. as i mentioned earlier, not only from canada, but from my home state of north dakota, as well as fro

up here in canada, and in north dakota, we've got all this oil. and the president is down here in oklahoma taking credit for a part of the pipeline that's going to go through the normal process. it's already gotten its approvals. and this idea that the president is going to expedite this will have no impact on the construction of this pipeline. now let me explain something. it's not just oil that's up in canada. right now, this year, oklahoma -- north dakota will become the second-largest oil-producing state in our country. there are three 100-tank trains every day that come out of north dakota and have to go all the way to the gulf, because of the lack of this pipeline. and so what's canadian oil, north dakota oil needs to get down to our refineries in the gulf. so the president can take credit for having nothing to do with the bottom half of this pipeline and the fact is, there's only one permit that requires his approval, because it crosses our national boundaries. and that's the keystone decision on the upper half of this. remember, we have 16

and up in north dakota from the floods. and when i was flying over north dakota, had the opportunity with the general and a couple congressmen. and as we're flying over, and it was just cresting. in looking at the damages, the general is explaining how many homes and businesses were damaged. in sort of a side mentioned we've really done a good job and haven't lost any lives and working hard, and we saved the school and did this and did that. later i went and talked to the mayor and governor and police, fire, e.m.s. folks and chiefs and command staffs and a lot of people that had been working on fighting the flood in north dakota for literally -- much longer, but this part of it for two weeks. and sometimes i think we miss things and we forget things. but for total devastation, they did not lose one life. that is incredible. if you can view the damage that happened there. and the reason that is, is and the reason that is, is because they prepared.

it's been an generally mild winter in north dakota. the national weather service in grand forks said they have 27 inches of snow, half of last year's snow totals. ch is actual's oldest convention this week and that's where our team of experts gathered. >> here in grand forks north dakota, chs agriculture industry day and we have an interesting group of producers that are watching. we are going to be talking about the things that our audience has told us that we need to be talking about. the first thing i think, and what i think is on everyone's mind, not just here, but that's the acreage. what are we going to be planting this year looks. >> well, as you drive around the country, there have been a lot of preparations made to put the horn in this fall and winter. we've had very conducive winter season ticket fieldwork done. we will get the 94 m illion acres, and i think we will go north about. >> i would agree with that. we see pretty strong corn acres. beans have made our run of it as the bladesof late, and i think we may be north of 94
