Vote for me because I am...... MASTER THESPIAN
I don't have a horse in this race, and I don't live in Sioux Falls, so it doesn't matter to me.
But with that said, I have to point out something I caught for the first time about the Sioux Falls Mayor's Race in today's Argus Leader:
So if I ran for the State House with that pedigree - not only would I hold the office, but I could be "Legislator of the Dance."
Actually, with Halverson noting his doctorate in theatre, it gives me a vision of a disfigured Vincent Price running the city while playing a pipe organ, calling for his City Manager, Vulnavia.
(You have to be a vincent price fan to get that one)
But with that said, I have to point out something I caught for the first time about the Sioux Falls Mayor's Race in today's Argus Leader:
Malloy owner Garry Jacobson, an old schoolmate, had invited the candidate to meet the 60-plus employees at the company.A doctorate in theatre eminently qualifies a person to run a city of that size? What in the hell was I working on a Masters of Public Administration for? Why did I get an undergrad in political science? I should have gotten a degree in dance.
"He's eminently qualified," Jacobson said of his friend's mayoral aspirations.
Halverson, who has a doctorate in theater, showed off the skills he picked up from the stage Monday. Before going to Malloy, Halverson faced off with Munson at a candidates' forum. Several observers at the Rotary function remarked that Halverson was indeed articulate.

And in doing further research, It looks like his degree is in Theatre history.
Besides, I'm more interested in his pipe organ playing skills.
Ooh, little testy. I can see taking the Argus shot, but, why would a pro like Volk take a shot at a pretty well-liked local guy he just beat by a handful of votes?
Doesn't strike me as a real smart tactic. That's a bunch of voters that may have been undecided that he just gave a reason to get out and vote.
Run-offs are about turnout. Munson will probably win because he has hard core support, especially among the Janklow bloc. Volk would probably ride that wave as well.
Something's gotta be going on here, you think? Volk's been in way too many campaigns to make an offhand comment mistake. Looks like some battle lines are pretty well drawn.
