Democrats are in the media today, explaining how they’re “targeting” as they abandon running people for 2/3 of the seats in the state legislature:
Republican Party of South Dakota chairman Dan Lederman contended the party was “in position to pick up the remaining 11 seats in Pierre.”
“The GOP’s dedication to building in-roads in communities across South Dakota has allowed the party to make historic moves ahead of the midterm elections,” he said in a statement.
The state Democratic Party has been rebuilding with new leadership in the last year, and the party’s chair Randy Seiler said it was not taking a “shotgun approach” but targeting winnable districts.
You know which races are more winnable than others?
Maybe it’s just me, but the races where you actually run candidates tend to be more winnable than the races where you run no one.
#Winning, according to the South Dakota Democrat Party.
Hey! The SDDC needsCAH to move back to SD. He may bot win but at least they have someone to run…..lol!
Randy Seiler is a political genius. Too bad he can’t win any elections. Let’s see, he lost his city council race, he lost his run for AG and then he lost his retention election to keep his job as a tribal judge. Maybe the Dems should get a Chair that knows how to win.
Nothing will help the SDDP. They are toast. A number of really bad choices led to their political brand’s self destruction in South Dakota. A few driven by greed used what was left of the party for their own self serving fiancial gain at the expense of others.
The SDDP has been a mess for a long time. But it’s also not good having all R’s at the Legislature either. Problem is we now have a bunch of wacky R’s that don’t care if the government runs well or if anything makes sense at all. They make guys like Schoenbeck look like moderates.
