It sounds as if people are getting tired of hearing that PAC's are being used as vehicles to get around campaign finance laws.

What no comments? I'm surprised! I guess you republican friends also have a guilty conscience.

As I have said before, limit the length of campaigns, limit the number of dollars to be spent on a campaign, and get rid of PAC's. Let each candidate have a short amount of time to list why it would be in everyone's best interest to nominate him/her. Limiting the length of the campaign will limit the amount of dollars needed. Get serious about campaign finance reform and maybe the little guy would have a chance again.

11:53 has it wrong. The little guy has only once chance. Get some big PAC money to shake up the establishment. Look at the PAC that is hammering Rounds right now.
Billion can't do it himself so it falls to PACS to get the truth about Rounds secrecy, high flying and special interests that built this mansion. The Republican establishment would chop the head off any "snake" they could find that attacked the Governor like this. Trust me the Governor's men are looking.
Go PAC's you are the only hope for free speech.

The Governor's "mansion" is nothing but crap. If you people harping on that don't realize it, Rounds doesn't get to live in that house indefinitely. It's passed on to someone else in a few years, maybe even heaven forbid, a Democrat! If SD'ans wanted to step up and contribute to building it, as a new governor's house was evidently necessary, I say GOOD. At least it wasn't my taxpayer money paying for it. It's a house for all the future governors for many years, whatever party or philosophy. It's NOT a Republican house.
PAC's are still just a way to get around supposed campaign finance reform. Those with money will continue to use and abuse them, and we will all suffer. Get the money out of politics and we will all benefit.
Here's some of the information on the Corson County Charges: COUNT I That on or about December of 2005, in the County of Corson, State of South Dakota, Ted Alvin Klaudt did commit the public offense of SECOND DEGREE RAPE (SDCL 22-22-1(2)) in that he did accomplish an act of sexual penetration with his foster daughter, A.M., through the use of force or coercion; and as to COUNT II That on or about July or August of 2006, in the County of Corson, State of South Dakota, Ted Alvin Klaudt did commit the public offense of SECOND DEGREE RAPE (SDCL 22-22-1(2)) in that he did accomplish an act of sexual penetration with his foster daughter, A.M., through the use of force or coercion; and as to COUNT III That on or about July or August of 2006, in the County of Corson, State of South Dakota, Ted Alvin Klaudt did commit the public offense of SECOND DEGREE RAPE (SDCL 22-22-1(2)) in that he did accomplish an act of sexual penetration, separate and distinct from the act alleged in Count II, with...
Scott Heidepreim had a guest column in today's Sioux Falls Argus Leader where he's doing his best to continue the Democrat's tactics of divide the GOP to conquer. It's pretty ironic, because to try to split the GOP, he's claiming that somehow, the "bad" House Republicans were working against a unified Senate where Republicans and Democrats skip and sing kumbaya as they hug each other and work together: * Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats and House Democrats were united in a sweeping and positive agenda for K-12 funding with an index factor, endorsed by the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. This index factor, for the first time, would link the idea that adequate education funding is a tool for economic development. The House Republicans killed the proposal. Our teachers are paid the least in the country. * Senate Republicans, Senate Democrats and House Democrats were united in support of early childhood development, a concept supported by the Federal R...
