And as we go into the home stretch of the Senate Leadership race

By -
From reports going into the last hours of the Senate Leadership race (the caucus dinner started at 7:30) everything was still up in the air. I hope to have a report tonight as to where things might stand going into the caucus elections tomorrow after the dinner.

It seemed firm last week, but with a member or two jockeying, it was all thrown into chaos, and no agreements for shared leadership between the caucus factions had been pre-arranged.

Watch and see how this popularity contest goes down tomorrow.

(For those not familiar with the strangely popular "Napolean Dynamite" phenomenon, you probably won't get it.)

Which GOP Senator is Pedro and which is Napolean?

For that matter who is Kip (Napolean's weird brother) or Summer (Pedro's opponent)?

Lee Schonebeck is a dead ringer for Kip. Summer is Deb Peters.

Larry Dietrich is Napolean's cousin, the swarmy one, can't remember the name.

No way. It's already been proven that Chris Nelson is in fact, Kip

Yes, but I've seen Chris' wife and she looks nothing like LaFonda.

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.

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...
