Rick Hauffe makes the Huron newspaper

Pick up a copy of the Huron Daily Plainsman, and read it for yourself.

Dems need 16 seats to control the house, which is almost impossible in 1 election cycle. But with a concerted effort on all of the fronts Rick Hauffe listed, it's not inconceivable that they could pick up 8-10 seats in the house in 2008. Republican House leadership really is THAT bad. The house GOP caucus is really setting itself up to be the skunk at the garden party.
Hauffe is good. No doubt about it. But he can be beat if the GOP message is focused and cohesive. The key to winning, with this term limit mess, is effective recruiting in the off season. As Harrisburg people found out - you don't vote or participate - you get the some not-so-smart people making bad decisions for you & your families or businesses.
The thing to remember is this - the Dems made the gains they did for three reasons:
1 - Several GOP incumbents were defeated in the primaries - had the incumbents won the primary, the seats would have been held (I'm thinking of Duane Sutton and Stan Adelstein).
2 - The abortion ban created something of a backlash against the GOP that is not likely to be present.
3 - In just about every close race, the Dems came out on top. There is a certain element of luck involved, and the Dems had it.
If anything, I think the Dems will fall back a seat or two in 2008.
The minute we turned our back on Leslee Unruh and Roger Hunt was the beginning of the end. Shame on us for shunning God's path for political pragmatism!
We will get what we deserve: A godless government that hates life.
The party leadership seems remarkably resistant to ideas from constituents.
5:52 pretty much nailed it. The House will stay pretty much as is, the Senate Republicans will gain 3 or 4 seats, and we'll always have a Republican governor.
Rick's just doing his job, but he doesn't have the votes.
According to who? It's not like we hear anything out of the State GOP.
What exactly are you fed up with? Are your taxes too high? Too much government intrusion? The only thing that I can think of is Pierre is too conservative and some people want them to spend a bunch more money on education and healthcare. Of course we have had big debates on social issues that people are getting tired of but that aside what are you fed up with?
4:46: You need to check the numbers from the last election for the House. You are just a democrat who is sick of the House killing all the spending and government control bills. If anything, the House needs to reinforce its conservative values of low taxes and keeping the government out of our lives. Go ahead and sneer and criticize all you want but solid conservative values win in this state every time. I just hope they don't bend to liberalized pressure to satisfy the vocal minority.
But Rick Hauffe looks like he is smirking or a little snide??
Does anyone else have that opinion? Not that I look good in photo's I hate mine taken!!!
Of course we are talking a page from a paper and then I think it was scanned, so I am sure the quality wasn't there.
No offense PP.

As for this post and today, I just don't have the energy to go the post and that may be a WOW for me.
But you guys keep hammering those post out so I can read over your shoulder okay.
Whip out that thesaurus, p.
Don’t like the heat? Then get out of cyberspace. And take your sycophants with you.
