Source telling me that it’s Governor’s race for Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether.

Sioux Falls’ Democrat Mayor Mike Huether continues to tease about his future statewide plans, but the word I’m getting from one source in Sioux Falls is that his eyes are firmly affixed on the race for Governor.

My source mentioned that the Mayor apparently made a couple of Freudian slips at a meeting last week, when he kept saying “Governor” when he intended to say “Government,” which was more humorous than anything. But what they’re hearing that has them far more suspicious is that allegedly Huether is trying to lock in big money Republicans in Sioux Falls to become part of “Team Huether” before he’ll give any firmer indication that his plans are to run for Governor.

Huether’s biggest problem is that being an Independent in the race is just as bad as being a Democrat. And that dog won’t just hunt in South Dakota, especially as you move towards the Missouri River.

  2. Pretty sure most of the big money Republicans are already locked up by the GOP candidates.

  3. GOOD! He will lose that one I thought he might run int he house race and that would have been more competitive.

  4. What will be his party affiliation by the time the voting actually begins! I guess it depends on what the voters are “hungry” for; whatever it is, Mike will serve it up with a spoon!

  5. Well, this should make for an interesting gubernatorial race in 2018, huh? But I don’t see how he wins as long as the Dems run someone, too. The math is not there.

    He probably feels that Noem is a weaker opponent than Krebs. And I think that is true, but as long as the Dems run a gubernatorial candidate, he will have a lot of ground to make up against any Republican opponent, however….

  7. I thought young Mr. Dusty was supposed to beat Ms. Krebs. Whoever wins that will whoop on the mayor fellow.

  8. I don’t think Noem will be as strong a candidate if she supports the Obamalite health care bill that is being pushed right now; I, for one, will not forget.
