Herseth for Congress' new TV Ad "Thank you"
Going off a theme of "thank you Stephanie" the Herseth for Congress team has a new TV ad that I saw for the first time tonight.
Catch it here.
Catch it here.
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.

Her ads give the war credibility and the deaths already wasted a meaning unsupported by reality and in a way that guarantees only that more American young men and women will die for nothing beyond election chances.
Not hard to understand why she does it in a state filled with Republinuts who will vote Republican as one years ago said, "Until I have to go to the corn crib to get breakfast."
But, still discouraging because it is a short-range tactical ploy with disastrous long-range strategic political consequences.
One of these years the Republicans will find a candidate who doesn't have a truckload of wingnut baggage and that will require a total change in the blue dog's yowl.
Also, it doesn't say she supported the war, it says that she's voting to get our troops the tools they need... and taking care of our veterans. That's what she -- and all Dems and Repubs -- SHOULD be doing. The men and women from SD serving overseas didn't vote for the war -- they simply did their duty when they called. The war was happening when Herseth was elected. To say that it's wrong of her to work for body armor for those overseas... and to take care of our vets when they come home is crazy. And, for the record, I've been opposed to the war from the beginning. But we shouldn't take it out on our troops. Steph is right on this one...
