I certainly hope Dennis is in, he is the only chance for Democrats this year. Dennis is a natural leader, and would provide a badly needed vision for South Dakota's future. Dennis is the man.

I think we will have the first democrat governor in over 25 years. It is too bad Rounds is so inept.

Dennis Wiese would be a strong candidate against Governor Rounds. He has spent the last 12 fighting for rural America to improve the economic conditions farmers and Main Street business face today. Dennis's work to develop and expand the ethanol industry for farmers and businessmen would help him run strong on along the I-29 corridor and James River Valley where as there is a strong agricultural community who Rounds has done very little to help. Dennis Wiese has the economic leadership this state needs to move forward!!!!!!

Where can I find a petition to circulate?!?!

I called by a pollster last night. Very professionally done, very narrow questions, very specific. It hit several major issues but seemed to focus more on approval of current officials and name recognition of potential Dem candidates against Rounds, Weise included.

I liked the fact that there were several questions at different places during the interview that would gauge how likely a voter your were. Couldn't tell if it was a Dem or Rep. poll, but, clearly somebody with some money to spend. Certainly not some B.S. push-poll the issue groups like to run.

Think it was Rounds or Billion anybody?

Isn't this a hardcore election blog where people discuss the process of elections?

Gov. Rounds has 70% approval among SD residents and he's an incumbent.

He will cremate whatever poor sucker the Dem's convince to be the sacrificial lamb this year.

Hopefully, whoever it is will get some sort of back door concession from the D leadership to compensate for the bludgeoning they'll take.

Happy Trails!

sacrificial lamb?

Really really, what were George Bush I's poll numbers before Clinton became president.

A real leader with real vision like Wiese will beat Rounds. Rounds is a guy who has never been tested and has not accomplished much for South Dakota

My guess on who is doing the name ID poll would be Mike Rounds. By all accounts he has 1.5 million to spend so cost is no object for him.

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...
