Jon Ellis spends some time today documenting the Democrat party in Minnehaha County as they take another lap around the commode on the way down:

You’d think an influx of newcomers would be a welcome sight for the Minnehaha County Democratic Party. After all, the party statewide has been hemorrhaging voters. The old McGovern Democrats are dying off. Others have moved on or given up. The party desperately needs a shot of fresh blood.

  1. The McGovern dinner would be the only logical event to which the POTUS could be invited which begs the question, did they invite him? This whole business about how he’s never been here is a reflection on the state’s Democrats.
