Some married women only have one last name.

Yes, that is true.
I will make this statement;
A womens last name is important it is a part of who they are. That is why so many women of various ages keep or hyphen their last name.
The question is why don't/won't men take a womans last name????
Okay here it comes lets hear the comments now...
No I am NOT a feminist!

I find it interesting that the ad does not say what she is running for.

I couldn't agree with 12:00 more. Why do women have to give up their identity (ie the name they have had their entire lives)?

And no, I'm not a feminist either. Just someone who had a life and career before I was married.

how many women consult focus groups before deciding on which last name(s) to use?

changing your last name after getting married is a tradition, a way of showing unity with your new family.

I like the fact that she can keep her professional identity (Herseth) and show solidarity with her husband (Sandlin). I'd bet that her advisors were telling her not to change her name because it's an established brand, but she chose to both honor her husband and keep her own identity in tact.

How is this different than Marion Rounds running for Governor under the name Mike?

OK 9:52 - how does a husband show unity with his new family after marriage?

And thankfully, traditions do change...

For example, we've almost entirely done away with women being addressed as Mrs. Joe Smith. (however my grandmother sometimes still sends letters to me that way).

10:07, I won't dignify your stupidity with a response (other than this).

10:23, you need to call your grandmother and tell her how out-of-touch she is with the times. How can you tolerate such behavior by your grandma? It's time for her to step in to the 1970's when women became men and men became the original Castrati.

Fred Thompson wife goes by Jeri Kehn Thompson.

I don't have a problem with any women doing this in this day and age.

I love my grandma, and just figure at her age, I'm not going to change her :)

A rose by any other name would smell the same. Speaking of thorny issues, does this mean Rep. Sandlin won't be running for Tim Johnson's Senate seat? Will he be able to give her the money he's raised for his campaign if he doesn't run and she does?

Maybe Mr. Herseth Sandlin will run for Johnson's seat. We've already elected one carpet-bagger.

important to note the sign doesn't say US Congress on it. Is this the new Stephanie for Senate signs?

1:19 - You mean Thune? :)

12:50 - If she was running for the Senate, why would it say "re-elect?" She hasn't been elected to the Senate.

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...

Giebink for House.
Otherwise known as "What not to do in a fundraising letter."

(Click on picture to enlarge) This fundraising letter is making the rounds across South Dakota. This one is from Sioux Falls, but I've also seen a few people in Pierre who have gotten it (an attorney or two). I've got to say that without a doubt this is one of the worst fundraising letters I've run across this year. It's not just that it says "Dear friends." Bleaugh. It's not just that it doesn't ask for an amount and you can barely tell that it's a fundraising letter. It's an entire letter of poison prose. Here's the basic structure of the letter - you tell me if you'd send her some money on the basis of it's content: Introduction Complain Complain Complain Vote for me Oh, there's also an envelope enclosed for some vague purpose. Boy, that one just makes me want to get out the checkbook. I've said before that "you need to show the need and make the pitch." In this letter, there's no illustrating why we shoul...
