This morning, Toby Doeden is posting on Facebook on the heels of the Dakota Scout story on his Lt. picks that he actually asked Jon Hansen to be his Lt. Governor three times.
And then a cock crowed! It’s as if he is just like Jesus!
Seriously though, it seems that the campaign is trying to stop the bleeding over who he is going to put a whisper away from the Governor‘s chair in the Lieutenant Governor seat; the person who will be spending time presiding over the South Dakota Senate in addition to whatever duties are assigned.
First they’re leaking out it could be two darlings of the hard-right to hold their base, OR someone regarded as a solid leader who will be in Senate leadership with the ouster of members of the hard right to court Dusty voters. Today, they’re claiming that Toby wanted Jon Hansen in an attempt to court his voters.
Who on earth is Doeden going to choose as his Lt. Gov, and/or populate his administration with?Because right now, all I see is a circus surrounding Toby Doeden, and I don’t want to turn State Government into a clown car. We don’t know what we don’t know at this point. We might very likely have the awful Taffy Howard as Lt. Governor.
The problem is we don’t know what we’re going to get. And over the last couple of days, all Toby has provided in response to that big question is continued uncertainty.
I think all this Lt. talk coming the weekend before the vote is too little too late, because it continues to be a lot of speculation and political chatter with no certainty behind it.
At this point, I suspect everybody’s minds are already made up, and no amount of chatter about who it COULD BE is going to change the outcome on Tuesday.
Well Jon selfishly wouldn’t not join forces. That is par for the course that’s why Hansen will always be a nothing. He is about him, this ultimately shows that.
