Tom Katus and his attack ad

By -
I promised this a couple of days ago after seeing the hatchet job that Tom Katus did on Elli Schwiesow in his ad. And the really sad thing is that Tom seems like he could be a nice guy if Stan wasn't telling him how to run his campaign.

If you recall, this type of tactic didn't do Stan any good either. It just seems to come cross as Stan's bitterness rather than Tom's leadership.

But then again. If Tom had leadership skills, he would not have been so willing to step aside for Stan after the primary.

I've got an ad that "I'd do" if I were in charge of the world... but it would probably be a little too much over the top for this race. If I can get blogger photos to behave tonight, I might have to post it. It deals with a puppetry theme and being happy to let Stan run his race...

But like I said, it would probably be a little too much over the top.

What a hypocrite! Talk about divisive and extreme! How could this ad possibly win undecided voters?

bitterness and anger does not appeal to voters. This type of ad will backfire.

I have never heard of the "pro-business moderate" party. Apparently that is the party Katus belongs to - he doesn't say "Democrat" anywhere in the ad.

BTW, who is the "local businessman" who supported 20% of Elli's campaign? And is Tom's claim true about the sexual harrassment?

Tom--or do I mean Stan?--should be ashamed of himself.

Everything in the ad is true. Great ad. Campaigns are about highlighting differences.

Just look at Ellie's sample ballot that she advertises and PP prints. She wants to destroy our property tax system (Amendment D), raise taxes, take away constitutional rights, and take away people's rights to spend their money as they wish (video lottery).

Ellie's a fascist. She's for government total control.

If this ad doesn't solidify Ellie's lead, what will? Thanks for the contribution to her campaign Tom. So when is the Katua working for Daschle ad/picture coming out? Or won't Stanford let you run it without him in the picture as well. Ha!
And to think on election night after you get whopped Tom,...Ellie will probably say something nice about you!

this is ridiculous... from the tone of this ad, they might as well have put "tom katus... a vote for him is a vote for apple pie and puppies" and "elli schwiesow... a vote for her is a vote for death and destruction"... gimme a break

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
