Doeden back polling for Gov race, and putting Trump on Mount Rushmore.

@SoDakCampaigns

Despite no one asking for it, apparently Toby Doeden is back in the field with another Internet poll trying to figure out if anybody knows who he is or cares that he badly wants to run for governor:

Unfortunately, they didn’t include a selection of dipstick.

There’s a number of other questions asked, including school vouchers, a strategic bitcoin reserve for the state, even though absolutely no one cares about a strategic bitcoin reserve for South Dakota. He even has a question about adding Donald Trump to Mount Rushmore.

The silly season for 2026 is nearly upon us.

    1. Doeden?? I’ve been following SD politics for 30+ years. I’ve never heard that name… ever. Not even outside of politics actually. What makes you think this? Has he even been a legislator, let alone, anyone of significance in SD politics?

  5. Doeden’s statewide name ID is probably 2%. Asking a fav/unfav question on a person that nobody knows screams narcissist.

    This dude has no clue.

  6. As much as I can’t stand him, I’m afraid his shtick with his produced videos and flooding the zone with social media ads may have an impact. I think we underestimate him at our own peril.

  7. He hides behind a computer screen, with his awkward eyes and double chin. Will he go out and shake hands with those who disagree with his crazy? Will he knock doors? Kiss babies?

    I don’t know, but we will see.

    1. He blocks anyone who disagrees with him, debunks his crazy and lazy claims or is made to look like the fool his is. It is highly doubtful he would be out in the public for risk he is going to get heckled and laughed at. He sends his minions out to represent him while he stays in his safe place.

  8. grudznick is still considering my responses. I am pretty sure the Conservatives with Common Sense are not going to take kindly if I weigh in behind this Mr. Doeden fellow, like when I backed the Libertarians Oakes and Newland. This Doeden fellow is probably 2.5 Newlands in size, at least, and 1.45 Oakeses. It is good grudznick does not curry favor by girth.

    1. Have you seen the physical size of his head? We will have to ask Representative Phil Jensen who his the self appointed authority of human skulls if an ego contributes to the growth and size of a human skull. Mr. Doeden’s ego is ginormous and head unusually large.

  10. Rhoden, Thune, Rounds and Johnson need to start putting real money in these primary campaigns, turn out the vote in much higher numbers statewide, and keep the crazies on the sidelines.

    They have tens of millions in their accounts but it will be of no use if these wackadoodles are in charge of the Republican Party and the legislature for long. They will overwhelm rational Republicans if they continue to win these low turnout primaries. The most radical five or ten percent of voters… will rule.

  11. With how unpopular Deoden is in Brown County he would be better off paying for a poll that asks.

    Would you pay to plant a cream pie in my face?

    Would you pay to have me on a dunk tank?

    Proceeds would go local charities or the United Way where participants can choose the charity. This would be more sincere and helpful.

  12. It depends on what Gevo decides to do now.
    If they don’t build, Doeden, Hansen and Rhoden will be blamed for it. If the price of corn falls, they will be blamed for it. Doeden wants to take credit for that, Hansen can hope nobody remembers his involvement, and Rhoden can claim the legislature had the votes to overturn a veto so he had to sign it. Everybody else, including the Democrats, can use the issue to attack all three of them..
