5 Days until the Primary

By -
Less than a week until the legislative primary. And if it isn't done by now, it's probably not going to get done.

Probably the nicest feature is that the intra-party battles that have waged far too long and far too intensely are going to subside, with the spoils going to the victors. Many within the party on different sides of arguments are going to be filling the ranks of footsoldiers for the GOP, and for the Dems as well.

It's also time to start getting ready for our summer political conventions. I just got my paperwork last week for the GOP convention this June in Watertown. I've got to remember to check on Hospitaility rooms and vendor prices, as I keep thinking I might set up in one or the other. (I have visions of my Republican Lite t-shirt, and other snarky themes selling like hot-cakes.)

And it all begins in 5 days.

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
