BREAKING RUMOR: Herseth engaged?

By -
I just had this dropped in my lap.

It's still at the status of rumor, as it has not been officially confirmed, but I heard from a very reliable source that Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth has/may be getting engaged to her boyfriend, former congressman and now lobbyist Max Sandlin.

Why am I giving this creedence? I hear there's lots of chatter about it around her home grounds, and among some of the DC crowd. It might turn out to not be true, but it's a little more than the average politico chatter - to the point where I think we can note it as something more than goofy specualtion.

If it isn't true, sorry about that. My source is usually uber-reliable, so I feel comfortable enough to go with it.

And if it is true? Well, then congratulations to the Congresswoman, and best wishes for the holidays.

That's right, another tabloid gossipy scoop from PP. He's actually pretty good at that. And critiquing yard signs. It gets pretty funny, though, when he tries to discuss issues of substance.

4:47 - you obviously must have been on the receiving end, or you don't read very often.

If you have never paid attention, PP hit on campaign finance, long before the issue was in vogue. And that's just the start. And that's just a start.

I don't always agree with the guy, but he's got the best SD political blog for a reason.

Female Senators are NOT single.

Someone has their/her eye on a senate seat in 2008!!

Wasn't she engaged to someone else a couple years ago?

As a matter of fact, some female senators are single just as some male senators are single.

Best wishes with your wedding Stephanie! And someday you will be in the senate if you choose to run.

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
