  1. Not suprised, Senator Thune built a majority of the momentum the SDGOP has, since he won against Daschle. I for one, am excited to have the honor to vote for him again!

  2. I think we can gauge his increasing popularity by how much money we make at Lincoln Day Dinners by auctioning or raffling off his autographed basketballs.
    I should have kept better records, but it seems every year we realize a higher return. Last Friday in Brookings we broke $100 on it.

  3. WTH has Thune really done for South Dakotans? This makes me question the validity of this study. Murkowshi shows an increase also. We know that’s not so. Thune is a do nothing senator that stands behind that turtle. He needs to go the same way Daschle went. Now.

  4. They’re both idiots with room temperature IQs. And neither have done anything for South Dakota.
