I'm running late, so I'll make this quick.
The Argus Leader this morning is reporting that the new bishop isn't wasting any time on getting involved in SD politics:
Bishop Paul Swain came out swinging Thursday. Within an hour of being
ordained a Roman Catholic bishop and installed as the eighth leader of the
Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls, he had spoken out on two issues on the Nov. 7
ballot.
"I'm proud to say that the first vote I will cast as a South Dakotan will
be yes for Referred Law 6," Swain said, to applause and a standing
ovation.
Referred Law 6 is the abortion ban, which was passed by the state
Legislature earlier this year and will be decided by voters. It outlaws all
abortions except those done to save a pregnant woman's life.
"This law is not perfect legislation, but it will better respect and
protect the vulnerable," Swain said.He also said he would vote yes on
Constitutional Amendment C. Approval of Amendment C would amend the South Dakota

The implication of this ad is that if you are not some kind of rat-holed, sheepish, entrenched monkey, you should not be involved in the political process.
Let's just make Roger and Leslie King and Queen of SD, with M. Mike honorary Sky Pilot
As for the television ad, it's nice. It's soft and it's Dick Kelly. I love the people they pulled together for the ad. Having said that, I hope they don't pull down the negative spot, because that's the spot that will win this election for them.
Heidepriem's running as a conservative and a Republican and that negative ad makes it clear what he's really all about.
The only thing people have been talking about is how low this guttershot is...Some of Dick's neighbors who've stayed neutral have now contributed to Heidepriem and are displaying his yard signs.
More than a few Republicans are appalled of these tactics...for God's sake the one postcard misspelled Heidepriem's name and it looked like a tabloid.
That stuff doesn't cut in to a 15% point lead in the last week.
Hope the Kelly campaign cleans it up and recovers a little dignity in the last few days.
Hey Hugh, Get off of my cloud.

Very credible!
Mudslinging might work in big parts of our country, but it isn't working in the District 13 State Senate race.
The GOP will look back on this with regret, wasted money and sullying the reputation of the party.
Doesn't Bokornhole have the BALLS to put his name on this disgusting drivel? This crap should be identified with it's motivating PAC, NOT with MY PARTY.
Oh, sorry, I forgot. Having an east-coast consultant attached to Dick Kelly's campaign would DAMAGE HIS CHANCES of SCHLUMPING back to Peer.
Used to be that state legislative politics was gentlmanly. Guess I'd better grow up, and slide down into the gutter. Like Kelly's campaign.
Because of it, he's alienating voters - including rational Republicans - by the hour.
HOW DUMB DO YOU THINK WE ARE?
On second thought, don't answer that.
What, you say he's not talking about that? Keeping his plans secret from the voters?
Roger Hunt and Halliburton Wick are out there talking about nukes, and their clone Manford Steele is out there saying, "Yeah, what they said." but nuclear dick is silent, even though he voted for nukes too.
Reactor got your tongue, Nuclear Dick?
That comment is so gone.
