More good stuff from out west
I heard another couple of good ones from out west tonight.
(Consider it unsubstantiated rumor at this point, but) the talk out there is that Rapid City Alderman Sam Kookier might be challenging Rapid City Mayor Jim Shaw in the mayoral race this summer.
The person I spoke with said that we can expect Kookier to team up with fellow Rapid City alderman Mike Schumacher who will be managing his campaign.
There's also been unconfirmed talk that outgoing Pennington GOP chair (and an alderman himself) Bill Okrepkie might also potentially be a candidate.
He had to drop out of partisan politics while he was a candidate, but after his loss to A.P. "Pete" Fuller for the judicial race, State's Attorney Lance Russell is back in as Fall River County GOP Chairman. He's back up for election as S.A. in 2008, but the question is whether or not he'll pull the trigger for that or another race...
More good stuff to come...

Also, the russell boys have worn out their welcome with many, many people.
Larry worries liberals about the House seat Stephanie will likely vacate to take Johnson's senate seat.
Lance took on the establishment, received 45% of the vote, exposing the liberal, incumbent democrat "free-em Fuller", who went to law school before Lance was born. Was it really a disgrace, or was the liberalism just well-documented?
I guess it is just a matter of perspective. Liberal or conservative.
Lance took time off to campaign door to door lying and cheating all the way.
Fuller kept doing his job.
Lance broke all the rules.
Fuller broke none.
Lance lost by 10 points.
If Fuller would have campaigned like I wanted him to, Lance would have lost by 30 points.
Fuller is too kind, decent and above board to play the way I was suggesting he should.
So give it a rest, will ya?
What cheating?
What rules were broken? Or are you referring to that pesky campaign finance law?
GOOOOOOO KOOIKER !!!!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Larry R. for House - Ha Ha
I wish he would though.
I hear Tom Johnson and Deb Hadcock are also running. Rumors will fly until all the petitions are in.
Mike, you are bragging way too much. It sounds like Mike is desperate for any credit due to "his" candidates.
I guess he's just another country-clubber using conservative money for himself--golfing, parties, exotic locations and fine food. Exactly what South Dakota does not need representing the rank and file--those who go door to door in promotion of the values of hard work, family and who know that liberal courts have been the democrat bullwork in the war on values and capitalism.
I'm sure he's had alot of fun on the $25 contributions of little old ladies who are trying to protect our values.
Mike can argue as much as he likes, but he certainly didn't measure up to his predecessors, who are for the most part pretty tight and certainly loyal to each other and the principles of the GOP. Mike is the ODD man out.
I hope Kookier's association with Schumacher isn't cast in stone. Unless, of course, he is as unscrupulous and deceitful as Schumacher. Then, of course, they would be a match made in Heaven, so to speak.
Lets take the high road folks, or, ar least use your names or the names of your "good authority"

I cannot believe that Mike is the last to know about his abilities. I thought Clinton had denial issues!
P.S. I don't think he's a great threat, but someone whom Kookier should not be relying on for advice, unless they share the same principles and approaches.
A good reputation for hard work, honesty, and principle are hard to attain and are sought after by many.
Politics is also a rough sport, especially for folks who do not possess the above discussed attributes. Whining about the forum you readily embrace seems a little disengenuous, again lacking the attributes described above. This reminds me of another apt phrase: "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch."
maybe it should come out from under the porch and share some facts and proof like anon 1:43 said.
According to 7:18 annonymously ridiculing someone in public equates to "hard work,honesty and principle"
I did not see anyone whine about the forum, all I read was a challenge to use your names, present facts and proof. Must be to much to ask from some ?
Deb is doing a lot for this city. Look what she has done for the downtown area. Anyway please say things that are good and postitive.
