SDPB candidate videos: Districts 1-12

By -
South Dakota Public Broadcasting has been doing a series of 2 minute candidate videos this year to help candidates bring their issues forward.

The more cynical among us might call them "don't cut our funding during the summer study" videos.

Click on any of the following links to view the candidate videos for those who traveled to Vermillion to get them done. And thank god that TV is not a dominant form of candidate communication in South Dakota.

Some candidates are relaxed and their spots are well done. Some are a bit... stiff.

There's one I watched today where I'd term the candidate "master thespian" with his ridiculous gestures and clear case of "acting" for the camera.

Regardless, check out these 2 minute videos in "Real Media Format," courtesy of South Dakota Public Broadcasting.

By the way, PP, I also did a 2-minute video (district 9), but you did not put a link to it.

Where is Jim Hundstad's, PP!?

It appears that you are editing which candidates you want to share with us.

Shame.

They didn't have one for him. Even though PP's a shill, he didn't leave anyone out.

Sorry PP...

I guess the question is: why didn't Hundstad do it?

Somebody must've told Hundstad he'd be wise "keep his mouth shut and be thought a fool, rather than open his mouth and remove all doubt.

PP, thank you for pointing us to this. For all those taking shots at Isaac Latterell, watch his clip. He demonstrates great vision & wisdom in his comments. He is a superior candidate.

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
