Another update to the candidate list... already

By -
Good gosh - I noticed I left one off, and in that time a couple more popped up.
Samantha Stormo Republican for the District 6 House Race
(In several papers a couple weeks back)
Jim Holbeck Republican for the District 6 House Race
(today's Clark Co. paper)
Manny Steele Republican for the District 12 House Race
Brian A. Roth Republican for the District 12 House Race
Gregory R. Allis Republican for the District 15 House Race
Kent Juhnke Republican for the NEW District 21 House Race
Ted Klaudt Republican for the District 28 Senate Race
(Unofficially announced today in his Legislative Column.)
Maurice LaRue Republican for the District 29 House Race
Rick Hanson Democrat for District 30 House Race
(Just got it in the e-mail)
Karen Ballert Independent for the District 31 Senate Race
Dennis Schmidt Republican for District 33 Senate Race
Mark Kirkeby Republican for the District 35 House Race
Lyle Hendrickson Republican for the District 35 House Race
Add to that list speculation in today's editorial for the Grant County Review that Larry Diedrich will run for his old Senate Seat against Democratic Senator Jim Peterson. The Editorial noted that he certainly looks fit, healthy, and very much like a candidate.

I'd love the scoop on this. Maybe someone with an inside track can give us a hint? (How about it Jackie?)

....And in the time it took me to type this, the Custer County Auditor just sent me a note indicating "Rick Hanson took out a petition this week for state representative for District 30 as a Democratic candidate."

You'll notice he's added to the list as well.

PP – I’m curious about your opinion. Why would Larry Diedrich run for his old senate seat? If he wants to take another shot at higher office (which I hope he does), why would he risk a tough race for the state senate? Wouldn’t it make more sense to continue lobbing for some populist causes instead of running a race in which he is no shoe-in? If he loses that race, he is done. I don’t know if it is worth the risk.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
