I'm glad he's not one of ours.

You know, I can't imagine why someone described Hundstad as the "Kloucek of the North" to me today. Nope. No Idea.

Oh, and as far as my campaign ad analysis goes: See the above ad?

Don't do this. Ever.

pp - Why do you say not to do this? What type of message do you think this projects, other than the fact that it seems confusing?

Yeah, I can understand why you wouldn’t want Hundstad. Any party that has Napoli, Greenfield, Elli whatshername, Apa, and Howie is full of enough crazies.

Anon, if you want to tell candidates to pose for campaign photos on segways be my guest. But only if they are Democrats.

What type of message do I think this projects?

"Dork."

Thanks. That was hilarious.

Funnier than that incredibly off-putting ad.

ANYONE ... !

Please let me know SOMETHING else about this guy other than his strange take on mass communication.

Jim is a nice guy and he means well, but he talks way too much if you ever get in a private conversation with him. He's very hard to get away from, because he can't shut up, but I think he knows that and will admit it. He is humble.

If Brian Johnson had enough money to run ads of Jim Hustad talking, he would win hands down. I went to a forum on Admendment D that he was on of the top speakers. He talked about furnaces for 10 minutes. Jim is a nice guy, he should not be in the Senate though.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not voting for Jim - but he is getting noticed in parades with this. I saw him in two parades last weekend and he is definatly getting attention. Nobody ever sees the other candidates because they are too busy running - trying to keep up handing out stickers. Good Idea Jim !!

Hundstad's problem is that he talks a lot and knows a little. That has been my perception.

Congrats on your re-election Jim!

You may talk alot, but you are a politician, right?

You may have some wacky ideas sometimes, but at least you have some.

You're not just another right-wingnut rubber stamp. We have enough of those in the legislature already!

Traditional Ideals, such as his plan to REQUIRE schools to adopt a 4-day calendar & to PREVENT them from conducting any extracurricular activities on those nights. That's what Friday & Saturday are for. And, if schools would have failed to comply with Hundstad's plan (SB 71--2005), they would have FORFEITED ALL STATE-AID TO EDUCATION.

If a politician of any significance had introduced such a bill, it would have been grounds for public flogging. When it's somebody of Hundstad's caliber, it doesn't even send a ripple when it sinks.

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...

Giebink for House.
Otherwise known as "What not to do in a fundraising letter."

(Click on picture to enlarge) This fundraising letter is making the rounds across South Dakota. This one is from Sioux Falls, but I've also seen a few people in Pierre who have gotten it (an attorney or two). I've got to say that without a doubt this is one of the worst fundraising letters I've run across this year. It's not just that it says "Dear friends." Bleaugh. It's not just that it doesn't ask for an amount and you can barely tell that it's a fundraising letter. It's an entire letter of poison prose. Here's the basic structure of the letter - you tell me if you'd send her some money on the basis of it's content: Introduction Complain Complain Complain Vote for me Oh, there's also an envelope enclosed for some vague purpose. Boy, that one just makes me want to get out the checkbook. I've said before that "you need to show the need and make the pitch." In this letter, there's no illustrating why we shoul...
