Looks like Wiese might be in as well
As SD Watch is reporting this morning, Dennis Wiese also has petitions out to run for Governor as a Democrat.
Go check it out here.

Why should we be surprised?
BIG hat tip to SD Watch who notes that a play has been developed based on the writings of Leonard Peltier:
A play about convicted murderer Leonard Peltier? Whether it is good, bad, or indifferent, I don’t see it playing in South Dakota any time soon. Maybe we should all see it, whatever our views on Peltier’s guilt or innocence, but man, this is going to reopen some major wounds in our state.Go read it here (with a youtube clip).
Yuck. Why should we be surprised about this? "Murderabilia," or the fascination regarding the art and ramblings of convicted killers has been a sick underground trend for some time now. I'd just add this to the pile. To me, it's no more than wanting one of John Wayne Gacy's clown pictures.
Somehow, I doubt the play is going to document what Peltier was convicted for. The killing of FBI agents Coler and Williams from fatal wounds to the head delivered by a high-powered rifle at contact range.
If you're really interested in the history …

Where can I find a petition to circulate?!?!
I liked the fact that there were several questions at different places during the interview that would gauge how likely a voter your were. Couldn't tell if it was a Dem or Rep. poll, but, clearly somebody with some money to spend. Certainly not some B.S. push-poll the issue groups like to run.
Think it was Rounds or Billion anybody?
Gov. Rounds has 70% approval among SD residents and he's an incumbent.
He will cremate whatever poor sucker the Dem's convince to be the sacrificial lamb this year.
Hopefully, whoever it is will get some sort of back door concession from the D leadership to compensate for the bludgeoning they'll take.
Happy Trails!
Really really, what were George Bush I's poll numbers before Clinton became president.
A real leader with real vision like Wiese will beat Rounds. Rounds is a guy who has never been tested and has not accomplished much for South Dakota
Agree 100%
