I love it when I get a scoop. RCJ Confirms 1/2 of the consultants involved in the Adelstein/Schwiesow battle

By -
In her column today, Rapid City Journal Reporter Celeste Calvitto talks about the Schwiesow/Adelstein race, and the very consultants I named a while back are involved:
Adelstein-Schwiesow primary

They say they will be talking about other topics, but abortion is still going to be an issue in a Republican primary between Dist. 32 Sen. Stan Adelstein, R-Rapid City, and Republican activist Elli Schwiesow.

It’s a replay of the match-up that occurred in 2004. But now, there is HB1215, the abortion-ban legislation that Adelstein opposed and the pro-life Schwiesow supports. And both are getting lots of campaign help.

Schwiesow is going to officially announce her candidacy on March 16, but she held an open house on Monday at her campaign headquarters on East St. Patrick Street in the same building as the Pennington County Republican Party office. She has enlisted the advice of Patrick Davis, a former executive director of the South Dakota Republican Party who is now a consultant.

“I called to just run things by him, and he said, ‘You could hire me,’” Schwiesow said.

Adelstein’s campaign chairman is Brian Hagg, a former Republican Party chairman. As for a campaign consultant, Adelstein joked, “I don’t know that I want to discuss that, because I don’t want to have anybody harassed on my account.”

Ahem. Who is Stan using? As I mentioned a while back, the word I got was Jody Severson.

What does "PP" stand for? Planned Parenthood, Pat Paulson? Who are you?

"Who are you?" Isn't that the theme to CSI?

Not to snipe, but that question seems a little presumptuous coming from "anonymous."

If you dig around on the site long enough, it's pretty easy to figure out. (There's hardly any GOP insiders who don't know).

PP's no secret. But I'd like to know who SDBWM is (or was).

Sounds like a singles ad for "South Dakota Bi-sexual White Male".

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(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
