Here I'm in a photo taken by Katie Duenwald (Senator Duenwald's daughter), as I sit with Scott Olson of the Hughes Co. GOP. waiting for things to begin tonight.

Pardon the ignorance, but which one are you. BTW Duenwald is my State Seator. Small world!

Glad that was cleared up. Neither one was wearing pajama bottoms, hence the confusion!

you have to admit...there is a vein of humor that runs throughout not only pat powers' postings...but that same humor runs in the postings of his detractors and commentators as well. Pat takes a return of serve pretty well. (no, this is not pat posting on himself.)

at first i didnt like anonymous postings. but maybe it gives me a way to talk to my fellow repubs without the clutter of names. and this blog gives me a peek at what the other side is thinking. that aint a bad thing...sometimes they are right...sometimes they have ideas too.

heres to pat powers....you got your chin out there a mile, and its healthy for all of us to shoot at the ducks you put up in the air. keep going!

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...

Kranz: Dusty Johnson to jump into US House Race? Possibly......

By -
Dave Kranz got a bit of a scoop on everyone with his column in the Argus Leader today noting that Dusty Johnson is at a point where he's considering the US House Race: "It is something I am considering. Any time you have a realistic opportunity to make South Dakota better, you have to take a look," Dusty Johnson says. "The thing for me: Can you be a good congressman and a good father?" and... "I have tremendous respect for Rep. Herseth Sandlin, but this is not about her. It is tough to sit on the sidelines as we deal with security and economic issues. It would be an opportunity for me to make a difference," Johnson said. Rep. Joel Dykstra is opening the door to a possible U.S. Senate campaign regardless of what Johnson decides to do. Read it all here . Actually, I'm intrigued by this lineup. It might mean Republicans have a solid congressional field to go into the election season with. When faced with a choice of this nature, it means that the Con...

Is the first "dog of war" a poodle? The Sutton team unleashes an injunction.

By -
After promising to unleash the dogs of war on to the Senate should they proceed with a hearing, the Sutton defense team struck first with an injunction trying to prevent the hearing from going forward. As related at ArgusLeader.com tonight, things are now on hold in the Senate: A judge has ordered the Senate to put on hold a hearing to decide whether to remove Sen. Dan Sutton of Flandreau, who has been accused of groping a legislative page a year ago. Judge Dave Gienapp of Moody County signed the order, obstained late today by the Argus Leader. Patrick Duffy, one of Sutton's lawyers, had asked for the ruling today. Duffy said the Senate does not have the right, constitutionally, to force Sutton to leave office by holding the hearing that it had planned. The hearing was to start as soon next week. The judge will hear arguments in the case at 9 a.m. Jan. 19 in Flandreau. Sutton has not spoken at length about the issue, but his lawyers have maintained his innocence. Asked about the ...
