Stan Adelstein
Just a few photos from the last day and-a-half
As you might have guessed, I’ve got a camera drug along to the convention. So, here’s a smattering of candidshots that I’ve taken along the way:

Here’s where the SD delegates are staying. Super nice, and great food. I ate there this AM. Of course, the down side is that because it’s an “official” hotel, you [...]
10 Questions with… State Senate Candidate Elli Schwiesow
I’d promised that I had a 10 questions feature coming up, and it’s here.
Elli Schwiesow has been a two, now three time candidate for the District 32 State Senate race. In 2004, she was narrowly eked out in the contest by then State Representative Stan Adelstein for the Senate primary. In 2006, after reversing her [...]
Apa says consider consolidation over the Adelstein Option.
From today’s Rapid City Journal, State Senator Jerry Apa notes to the Game Fish & Parks commission should consider what hey have in hand before they consider what Stan Adelstein of offering to sell them:
State Sen. Jerry Apa of Lead urged the state Game, Fish & Parks Commission on Thursday to avoid a major land [...]
Hint to GF&P: Just don’t bring cake and cookies when you ask to buy it.
Former State Senator, and current State Senate candidate Stan Adelstein is in the news once again. No, not for drawing a cake & cookie line in the sand. Today he’s in the news because the State GF&P wants what he’s got – land:
State Game, Fish & Parks Department officials continued to talk — quietly [...]
Hey! Pay attention to me too!
It looks like Tom Katus is trying to remind people he’s out there, and has a pulse.
In the midst of the flap over Stan Adelstein throwing Elli Schwiesow out of the GOP Headquarters and the associated coverage of the two combatants, Tom Katus has an editorial which appears in the Rapid City Journal, imploring “Can’t [...]
When it comes time to demonstrate class, there’s one person in Rapid City who knows how to bring it to the gutter.
I’m so absolutely appaled by this, that I can scarcely believe it as truth. But, my sources were direct witnesses to it. And they were left reeling in an uncomfortable moment caused by someone without a lick of class.
The West River Republican Victory office was just opened recently, and Republicans came from all around to [...]
Schwiesow makes announcement of candidacy. Finally, a little red meat on the plate?
From rapidcityjournal.com comes the official announcement that Elli Schwiesow has entered the District 32 State Senate race, against the guys who ran last time. In both races:
The District 32 Senate race got a little more crowded Sunday when Elli Schwiesow announced that she will run as an independent on the November ballot.
She will face former [...]
More on the Katus – Adelstein and now Schwiesow race
From Rapid City Journal, more on the Schwiesow entrance into the contest. At least to the Mainstream Media, Elli is being a bit coy in showing her hand as rumors swirl around her joining the fray:
Schwiesow, who defeated then-incumbent Adelstein in the bristly District 32 Republican primary two years ago, isn’t quite ready to say [...]
BREAKING NEWS: ELLI SCHWIESOW IS IN AS AN INDEPENDENT IN 32
WOW! This just in. My sources just gave me the BREAKING NEWS that ELLI SCHWIESOW IS IN the State Senate Race AS AN INDEPENDENT. And this just turned things upside down in that race. And she might just be able to win it. Why do I think that? Winning the primary, and only losing by [...]
Mercer 4-part series available at AAN
The 4 part Series that Pierre Political Reporter Bob Mercer did on how outside political organizations use legal loopholes try to hide their identities is on-line at the Aberdeen American News.
So you can now read why SDCAC founder Lora Hubbel suggested he’d soon find a horse’s head in his bed:

That payback can just be a……
After a couple of years and a couple of elections facing Stan Adelstein’s checkbook, Bill Napoli must be smiling. Why? Because he can go after his arch-nemesis without any fear of repercussions:
Adelstein, after six years of service, has one of the worst legislative records in recent history. Adelstein constantly showed up late or completely missed [...]
Well, that’s a lot of potential conflicts to keep track of
In looking for possible post topics, I was looking at the campaign finance forms at the Secretary of State’s always utilitarian web site where information on candidates is gathered for all to see.
There’s a big glut of filings being made at the moment for candidates, primary for their financial interest statements. It’s a precautionary/watchdog measure [...]
Coming soon… SDWC in the news
Hey – keep an eye out. I hear that my little website is going to be mentioned in an upcoming MSM news story.
No, I’m not the blogger offering the most radical comment on the death penalty for once. Nor am I in possession of documents implicating a legislator in a scandal. At least not today.
You’ll [...]

Stan’s not the only man? Keep watching for that primary race in 32.
Hey – here’s a good one to keep an eye on.
As I’m sure you’ve noticed me lamenting, Stan Adelstein is jumping into the race for State Senate against Tom Katus, who he propped up in the office after he lost to Elli Schwiesow in the 2006 June Primary.
There had been a good Republican candidate who [...]
It’s official. Benedict Arn…. Stan Adelstein announces for the Senate.
Bleaugh. It’s official. The man who spent his time and effort trying to elect Democrats last election is now back on the GOP’s doorstep with his hand out:
Katus has worked hard in the Legislature, Adelstein said. But he said a majority-party senator would be more effective.
“People say, ‘Well, how do you feel about running against [...]
I guess there was one person whou could make Stan Adelstein look like a PAC “weenie”
WOW.
T. Denny Sanford isn’t just about funding hospitals and underground labs. This past year, he cleaned out his pocket change and dumped $200,000 into a Political Action Committee he created. (Click to enlarge any of the images)
The first (and only) beneficiary of T. Denny cleaning out what fell out of his pocket into his couch [...]
*It Burns… It Burns….*
I was perusing the newly redesigned Rapid City Weekly News, and had this horrific imagery pop up:
Just what I DIDN’T need flashing on my computer monitor this morning was a tight close-up of Stan Adelstein. Brrrr….. The only thing I think I’d rather see less is my own visage.
Stan was [...]
Tom Katus, thank you for proposing the absolute stupidest and most meaningless legislation of all time.
Oh. My. God.
I thought I’d seen it all, but apparently I’m a babe in the woods when it comes to the depths of things that are meaningless. Because Tom Katus has now decided to show us the true depths that meaningless-ness can actually reach with this absolutely unbelievable piece of legislation.
Senate Bill 90 – An [...]
Taped from Vermillion – It’s South Dakota Focus!, and other miscellany
This year, I had an opportunity come up again that I had to pass on last year because of work obligations – I got to be part of the South Dakota Focus panel to talk about the issues that made 2007 the Best Year ever! (YEAH!)
It was interesting, and certainly a lesson. Todd Epp, Myself, [...]
