Aren’t you glad to see that she is a capitalist?
Yes!
Good one. 😀
She did the right thing and disclosed the transaction. Good for her! 😄
She has to, it’s the law.
That’s why I stated she did the right thing. How was the governor’s hunt?
If she runs for governor I’d give her the edge. She would be really formidable for US Senate or Governor.
It’s looking less and less likely that Noem runs for governor.
I hope Noem runs for governor, too. If she does, she will hand the statehouse to the Democrats the way Dale Bell made Tim Johnson a congressman.
You are either drunk or mentally ill to believe such a thing.
First, if Noem runs, few will be able to stay close to her heels.
Second, a rerun with Herseth would be a classic – get your popcorn and ringside seat now
Third, Herseth is far and away the bright spot in the Democrat constellation, which has as many stars as Bethlehem at Christmas
Do you really think so?
First off I don’t think Kristi is all that invincible and that is why Mickelson and Jackley will box her out of the governor’s race just like Rounds did for US Senate.
Rounds, Mickelson and Jackley all make large incomes in the private sector so they aren’t afraid of losing their livelihood. You can’t take big risks if your finances are tied to your decisions.
If Kristi left congress to run for governor in a primary she would be taking a big financial risk that the others wouldn’t be. If those three lost they would all make hundreds of thousands of dollars in the private sector. It’s a pay cut to serve in public office for them. For Kristi it was a large salary increase.
I would never say she is motivated by money because I know she isn’t but income is an important factor in every decision someone who runs for office makes.
I think Kristi might be a great governor also it’s too bad we will never find out.
You know, mayors tend not to have a public record on abortion, but legislators do. That is why everyone, I think, on this blog site always pumps a Sandlin gubernatorial run.
I also think Huether will be the next governor or the only Democrat who can win in ’18. Especially, if Noem runs for governor in ’18. Because she will force either a broker convention for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in ’18 (That definitely helped Senator Bottums (Senator who?)) or win it out right and Huether can beat any of the potential candidate(s) from these two scenarios.
Only if Noem stays out of the gubernatorial race in ’18 and Mickelson gets the nod do I believe the GOP can hold on to the Governor’s mansion after 2018. That is if the Democratic party nominates Huether. I like Sandlin, but she will get entangled up in the feminist/pro-choice mantra if she becomes the Democratic gubernatorial nominee in 2018 with the Republicans winning once again regardless of which one of their first tier Republican candidates they nominated for governor in ’18.
Sub prime Mike could win..He leans more to the corporate boys,I will vote for the dog catcher’,if he runs against Slick Mike,Mike is for Mike never forget it.
Just remember your enemy’s enemy is your friend. Politics creates many strange political bedfellows that we must accept at times if we want to turn the ship.
What happen to Stephanie in 2010 is proof of the destruction which can result from friendly fire. Democrats must be pragmatists, in the meantime, if we want to win again or at least establish a beachfront. Right now we are “Dunkirk Democrats.” Let us make it our goal in 2016 through 2018 to once again own the beaches of Omaha….
Happy New Year everyone!!!!! It’s 2016! Let us let the fun begin!!!
A few thoughts…
1) Noem is a rising star in Washington. She’s not giving that up to go back to Pierre…yet. She’ll wait until Booker has graduated to run for governor if she ever does. That way he doesn’t have to leave his school/friends and she can have enough time to analyze her political position in Washington.
2) Sandlin is a pipe dream for Democrats. She won’t be running for anything in South Dakota anytime soon. I think that ship has sailed especially since she has been out of state for awhile and is now a mother.
3) To Winston. This isn’t presidential politics, this is South Dakota politics. Even if Mickelson and Jackley fight to the death for the nomination, that will not in any way, shape or form damage their chance at winning the general election. This is South Dakota and if you have an R by your name, there is a good chance you’ll win. For the record, Mickelson will walk away with the election. He’s got the name and will have an abundance of political donations.
Just my two cents. Would love to hear yours.
I think Mickelson is going to be the next governor too as long as Noem does not run for governor in ’18.
If Noem runs she will either get the nomination or cause a broker convention. With either of those two scenarios, as long as Huether is the Democratic nominee, then Huether and the Democrats win the statehouse in ’18.
If the Republicans can keep Noem away from a run for governor in ’18 and the Republicans are smart enough to nominate Mickelson then the Republicans will hold on to the Governor’s mansion.
South Dakota might not be presidential politics, but politics is politics. A broker Republican convention in ’62 gave McGovern a senate seat and the nominating of Dale Bell over Heidipriem and Frankenfeld in ’86 gave Tim Johnson a lengthy congressional career. A Noem gubernatorial bid in ’18 entails all the realities of ’62 and ’86 wrapped into one scary scenario for Republicans and a sign of hope for the Democrats.
Noem, a ‘rising star’ in Washington? Talk about a pipe dream.
1986 was a primary, not a convention. The Bottum deal remains the only brockered deal in the last 70 years. I’m not sure what your point is Winston, other than you have a preferred candidate for both parties. There are a pile of races where the “weaker” candidate won the primary and then lost in the general, and there are some where the weaker candidate won the primary and then won the general. I like that you know a little bit about South Dakota history, but don’t share your analysis. It will be fun to watch
“1986 was a primary, not a convention”….. I know that, did I ever say it wasn’t, but the culmination of the ’62 and ’86 examples are both personified in a potential Noem gubernatorial candidacy and that candidacy’s potential impact on South Dakota Republican gubernatorial politics in 2018.
Do I have preferences? Heck yes, I want Huether to run as the Democrat. I want Noem to run, too. Even if she doesn’t get the nod she will create a big mess, which could even stop Mickelson’s ambitions. If Noem stay out of the race and Mickelson gets the nod, then Huether loses. If Noem stays out and some other than Mickelson gets the nod then Huether wins.
But let us talk about 1986 for a moment, separate from the House race there almost was a broker convention in ’86, too. Let us not forget that Roberts took second in the Republican gubernatorial primary that year and kept the late Governor Mickelson under the 35% threshold. However, the Mickelsons understood then as we all should understand now, that a broker convention for a political party is not a good thing and that is why Roberts endorsed Mickelson before the state convention and then shazam six plus months later Roberts became Mickelson’s Secretary of Agriculture.
How is that for a “little bit” more?
In terms of weak candidates winning and losing, you have to look at all of that in the context of high profile races that are potentially competitive. Comparing legislative races to gubernatorial or house races in this state is apples and oranges. Especially, if you consider the lack of across the board political sophistication in this state when it comes to a genuine two party system for most races.
But you are right, ’18 will be fun. And the Democrats plan to set up tents near our border for any political refugees from the pending brutal Republican gubernatorial race in ’18…. and we promise no questions about your religious affiliation.
Just for clarification, the GOP had a brokered convention in 1972 when five candidates ran in the primary. Bob Hirsch won the nomination at the convention and went on to lose to Jim Abourezk–brokered conventions don’t do Republicans well.
Winston:
1) Clint Roberts served as Sec. of Ag under Janklow.
2) Jay Swisher was the first Sec. of Ag. under Mickelson. I don’t remember who succeeded him but it wasn’t Clint Roberts.
3) The voters effectively decided against picking the nominee at the state convention when they pushed Mickelson above 35%.
Troy,
Thanks for the clarifications, Mickelson appointed Roberts as Director of the South Dakota Energy Office in ’87. However, I knew he had been Ag Sec. at some point and as you noted it was under Janklow’s first term.
As far as the 35% issue, what I remember is that initially Mickelson had less than 35% before the final canvass or that his barely 35+% was legally vulnerable to a court challenge. He and Roberts held a press conference soon after the primary in the name of party unity (with the understanding that Roberts was not going to challenge the primary results to force a convention fight), then the final canvass locked Mickelson in at 35.3% just days after the press conference.
Winston,
That could be accurate but it wasn’t just about party unity. Mickelson’s people were also confident they could prevail at the convention. I’m pretty sure if Roberts thought he had a chance at the convention, he would have seriously considered a recount.
Mike Hueter has no chance to win. He can afford to self fund but a lot of people including myself will support and spend money to make sure that little man never serves as gov of this state. Most people who interact with him understand what a narcissist self serving vindictive little man he is. Many democrats I know won’t even vote for him. Do some research.
How do you know he can afford to self fund? Do you access his bank accounts? Does he do business with you and you have the inside scoop? I’ve interacted with him twice since he became mayor and they were pleasant; he even followed up with me regarding one of our discussions to ensure I was satisfied with the outcome. You claim people don’t like him but clearly he’s won the mayor’s office. Twice. Now who is the vindictive narcissistic man? Note that I can’t use ‘little’. ☺
If he can afford to give 750,000 to a tennis facility to have it named after him as well as the Augustana tennis courts, do the math regarding self funding. He self funded his mayors race, look up the reports. Now let’s move to governor. Nobody from Sioux Falls has ever won the governor race. Read the groups he has picked fights with and appointees that disagree with him. Talk to women who have interacted with him. I can list a long list of names of dealings where he has lost his cool. Keep telling your self what your saying, I’m sure you’ve convinced yourself already. My check book is ready, is yours?
Ymous, I don’t see any proof that he gave 750,000 to a tennis facility and have it named after him. Nor do I see any proof regarding Augustana. And if he did, good for him for being successful. Who cares if he self-funded his mayor’s race. Did Jamison? I don’t have the names of women who ‘have interacted with him.’ Can you please provide the names so I can talk to them? Everyone looses their ‘cool’. You do quite frequently. Note correct grammar for ‘Keep telling yourself what YOU’RE saying.’ That’s how I know this is a Ymous posting. I don’t write checks anymore. I live in the 21st Century. Why do you not want to tell if you enjoyed the Governor’s Hunt, Ymous? Your jealousy of Mayor Huether is quite comical. He’s clearly more successful than you. And you can’t stand it. Love it!
Huether Family Tennis Center, in the Sanford sports complex. Heard of it. Course at Augastana are also named after him. Do you live in Sioux Falls? You asked about self funding then you misdirect?
Your a waste of time.
You’re a complete moron; you can’t spell or use the correct ‘you’re’. Tennis doesn’t interest me, so no I haven’t heard of courts named after him. Got the names of the women I can talk to about your claims? No? Didn’t think so, Mark.
Huether run for Gover
nor, I hope not we already have one photo op Thune.
