Did you get one of the Toby Doeden Dark Money PAC text messages blasting across the state? If not, I’ve got a few laying around: For our examples, he’s sending out nonsense about Lee Qualm and Carl Perry. Nothing about Lee Qualm trying to fleece his siblings out of their inheritance, or Carl Perry trying […]
If you recall a couple weeks ago, Democrat PUC Candidate Jeff Barth took great umbrage because he couldn’t see Chris Nelson’s sign disclaimer from the road. Given all that sturm und drang over the size of a disclaimer that was always there, do you think Democrats are going to expend the same amount of energy […]
I’m sure law enforcement will get out and check Chris Nelson sign disclaimers for Jeff Barth as soon as they get done catching all the murderers and rapists. Chris Nelson says his signs comply. “I’ll agree with Jeff on one point, the signs are from my campaign – and I’m proud of the work my […]
For someone who was the Executive Director for the State Democrat Party, you’d think Pam Cole would remember that political advertisements are supposed to have a disclaimer. Because I sure don’t see one on this piece. Nevermind that her name might be the smallest piece of text on the piece. I mean, seriously. Tiny name, […]
This flyer hit the mailbox of a correspondent today in an unmarked envelope, ostensibly from “Ranked Choice South Dakota,” explaining how the dumb idea of a Jungle Primary which South Dakota rejected once already is supposed to work: The biggest problem here is that last I knew, this is a ballot measure that’s actively circulating […]
I have a few campaign items that came home from the State Fair. Unfortunately, for US Senate Candidate Mark Mowry, it looks like it could be an expensive state fair for him (and his hat.) While his campaign card does picture Mowry in his ubiquitous black hat that seems to go everywhere with him, it […]
A mailer in favor of Initiated Measure 23, which hopes to eliminate South Dakota’s Right to Work law by allowing unions to charge non-members for services they claim to render arrived in mailboxes this week. But from an examination of the mailer which likely went out to thousands of homes across the state, indicates that […]
I had this sent over to me by a reader. And people wonder why I think the anti-ethanol people are a pack of crackpots? As they post a billboard claiming “Watertown: YOU are in the KILL ZONE!” Seriously? Why don’t they claim that it may cause a pack of wild dingoes to steal people’s babies? […]
Remember the Coalition of Confederates who want to push the Republican Party’s cart down the road of their agenda, and out Republican officeholders, versus electing Republicans to office? They’re back at it, and this time – through an anonymous e-mail they’ve sent out – they’re demanding that the South Dakota Republican Party hold a summer […]
I caught this in my facebook feed this evening; where State Senator Michael Rohl came out and expressed his support for the Jungle Primary measure that we’ll be voting on this fall, Amendment H. In several instances in the past, the prior versions of the jungle primary effort hadn’t been ready for prime-time. However, in […]
