I vote PP for the house contest.

Stop it.

I don't think anyone is interested in electing overweight political/computer geeks with 6 1/2 kids.

Besides, I'd rather just write about it.

I believe that Rudy is the only one who can win in this political environment. He also has a tremendous record to run on.

You guys would be smart to nominate Romney. Once you get to know him, you'll be impressed. He's about your only shot to win it all.

Interesting...the paranoid believe the Dems are busy on this site but as a RINO I believe that if Rudi could get through the primary he'd be are next president. Unfortunately, as a pro choice RINO, he can't.

I'm prochoice...but I am for whichever candidate thinks he can beat Hillary. Abortion will not be a factor in my voting this year, and I hope that more Republicans and/or prochoice voters feel this way. Our country's future is at stake this time around, not simply the abortion issue. Hillary is dangerous unless you want more taxes, less defense, more illegal immigrants, more social welfare.

Ron Paul is the only great candidate for GOP Pres, and I'm disappointed he's not one of the choices in your poll.

Romney folks have gotten wind of the poll, evidently. He was not doing so well and then, wow, he jumps to a big lead.

Man can that Romney guy stick his foot in his mouth. He's said a lot of dumb things already. It's just a matter of time until he implodes like his father did when running for president in 1968.

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...

State Senator - Herseth emboldens the enemy

By -
On the eve of her wedding, State Senator Orv Smidt writes to the Argus Leader condemning Congresswoman Herseth for her actions on the Iraq funding bill - calling them "emboldening to the enemy:" I ask you to consider how Herseth has gotten to be such an expert that she can deny the commander-in-chief, the Defense Department, the Secretary of State and our brave soldiers the resources they need to fight and win in Iraq? Why it is OK to embolden our enemy by publishing a timetable for withdrawal? I was once a soldier in Vietnam. The actions by our political leaders of the time told me that my service to our country was not appreciated. and... Our brave soldiers in Iraq don't want to hear that either. Go read it all here . Considering (as a Brookings residnt) he's her State Senator in Pierre, this is particularly stinging.

District 3 House candidate and Blogger David Newquist gives a lesson: What to say in SD when you don't want to be elected.

By -
Hat tip to CCK and SDP : Northern Valley Beacon blog author Dave Newquist is no stranger to saying controversial things on his blog. But as SDP points out, this comment from him on CCK's blog is particularly worthy of notice since he's a candidate for the legislature: David Newquist, Democratic candidate for the state legislature, questions whether the American flag is even worth saluting anymore : A flag is a symbol. It symbolizes our history, our aspirations, our values. Of course it is upsetting to see someone desecrate our national symbol. But the Bush administration would like to get the nation in a raging furor, while it quietly erodes, undermines, and desecrates our Constitutional rights and protections. When the New York Times published a story on tapping into international financial transactions, the Bushites railed that the newspaper was endangering the nation and that the 3,000 people killed during 9/11 were being violated. Of course, they never mention the 2...
