3pm update - How did we manage to slide through the platform unscathed? Nominations are proceeding.

By -
We managed to get through the rest of the resolutions and the platform planks in short order, and as I write this, my wife is on the way up here with the kids, and the nomination speeches are rolling along. Here's a rundown of who is making the nomination speeches for the candidates to this point:

Lt. Governor -
One of the Lt. Gov's daughters nominated the Lt. Gov, with seconding speeches by Arne Brown, and Eric Bogue

Secretary of State -
Former House Majority Leader Bill Peterson nominated Chris Nelson, with seconding speeches by Ryan Brunner and Marlene Hargraves

Attorney General -
Jim Seward nominated Larry Long, with a second by Claire Konold

Auditor -
Al Koistenen Nominated, Bill Trent and Cindy Flakoll Seconded.

Treasurer -
Greg Dean Nominated, Rosie Harrington and Nicole (something or another, I'll find out) seconded.

School and Lands -
Dusty Johnson nominated Jarrod Johnson, with seconds by Dana Randall, and Judy Dryzinka

PUC is currently being nominated at the moment, with Elizabeth Kraus providing a nomination for John Koskan. Bill Peterson performed his second second of the day. And so did Eric Bogue.

I'll update this in a bit, with Tim Rounds' information as I have to go get my hotel key, but stay tuned.

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.

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...
