Former Dem Senate Candidate continues pushing hard for vote of no confidence on Tornberg.

What was I mentioning yesterday about why Cory Heidelberger’s name has come up as possibly seeking the SDDP Chairmanship:

…while Cory has been a vociferous Tornberg supporter in the past, he’s been one of the parties most responsible in loudly publicizing the grievances of the Democrat organization mutineers, and making sure that everyone knows that they want to throw Ann Tornberg out of office for “severe lack of management ability that has led to low fundraising, dropping voter registration numbers, a nearly invisible message, and at the center, zero of anything resembling a strategic action plan for the State Party.”

In other words, if Cory had not been promoting it and making sure as many Democrats saw it as possible, there might not be much of a revolt.  Sure, others had expressed dissatisfaction in the past. But no one had really undercut Tornberg until the article Heidelberger published on his blog came out…

Read that here.

Hot of the press, this morning, in the face of some Democrats expressing that they’re not interested, and that the effort at a coup seems rushed, Cory is pushing hard for Democrats to hold the vote to dump Tornberg:

The snap election that Rachelle Norberg and other Democrats are calling for at Saturday’s meeting in Sioux Falls is about as early and sensibly timed as such a move can be.

and..

Planning a snap election for new Democratic Party leadership on McGovern Day is not sudden, last-second upheaval. It does not show “bad taste.” It shows courage, inclusiveness, and good timing… all of which are good characteristics for a Democratic Party leader.

Sounds to me like Cory is one of the forces pushing the coup against Ann Tornberg as much as Rachelle Norberg, Paula Hawks or anyone in the SDDP. And he might just be angling to take over himself.

    1. If you call being the captain of a sinking ship being “gainfully employed”!

      Even the national Democrat party didn’t go so far as to elect Keith Ellison as their head; I doubt if the SDDP would take the hemlock that is Cory Heidelberger. He would do better in Venezuela though I think even the folks down there have come to realize that socialist policies stink.

      1. Venezuela is too far. More like hanging out in Oakland, Berkley and Portland. Hope his cult followers stage a surprise coup and he is chair. Would be fun to watch the captain go down with the ship except CAH would be the guy jumping in the lifeboat being totally oblivious to the stunned looks of the women and children as the ship slipped beneath the surface of the sea.

  1. You know you should look away, you don’t want to give them any more attention than they deserve, and somehow we just can’t; we are following this just to see how far they will go to throw each other under the bus. it is really sad to watch. Luckily the GOP has an alternative at the same address.

  2. I endorse Cory for the new head of the South Dakota Democratic Party. I was very impressed with Ann Tornberg and Ben Nesselhuf but I believe Cory will be incredibly good for South Dakota. He will be able to lead like no other and probably set new records as to number of Democratic legislators elected.

      1. Yeah! We will be totally afraid and stuff. This will in no way help Republican registration numbers.

        1. I was joking of course! The SDGOP I’m sure are shaking in their boots because they are laughing so much at the thought of Cory being Chair of the SDDP. Pat’s blog hits would skyrocket with all kinds of comedic & political material to post. 🙂

  3. Foul mouthed, abrasive, threatening, libelous…Corey H would be perfect for the SDDP. Between Corey H and the national DP chairman Perez, they could find many new uses for the f-word.

    Coreys wife & child must be utterly ashamed of this self centered egomaniac.
