In Rapid City, I hear there are things-a-brewing. I’m told today that “Liquor Tax Petition” Pennington County Commissioner Delores Coffing is going to be challenged in the Republican Primary by Rapid City Attorney Ethan Schmidt. If you don’t know him, Ethan is the son of GOP National Committeeman and long-time Republican Ron Schmidt. I consider Ethan a friend, so I’ll be keeping an eye on that race.

I had a call that one of my conservative and hard-charging friends was going to run for a House Seat in District 35. The result when I chased it down? Not True. So far as I know, the only two Republicans running in that House Race are Gordon Pederson and Gordon Howie. But in case anyone sees a petition to the contrary, let me know.

This one hot off the rumor mill from one good source - The word tonight is that Kathy Lucas of Pierre has entered (or will shortly enter) the Republican House Race for District 24. As I'm told, Kathy is supposedly running on a “freedom” platform. Whatever that is. I suspect it's going to put a new spin on the House Race as it creates a primary for GOP House members Ryan Olson and Tim Rounds.

Kathy has been an active participant with the party over the years. From my observations, I suspect her freedom platform will likely place her apart from her opponents as being more liberal on social issues.

Is Kathy that dark haired lady that was running around the halls with pro-abortion literature and flashing a crucifx at people in a wacked out way on the last couple of days?

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...
