Lora Hubbel For Governor website up.

Pat Powers

It looks like the Hubblecraft has launched, as a campaign website for Lora Hubbel for Governor has been put up.

Gordon Howie’s website is noting this morning that his gal Lora’s website is up, and she’s also posted a video manifesto talking about why she’s launching her effort.  From her website, Lora explains why she’s running at LoraHubbel.org..

…and she can’t even get that right.  Hubbel claims that “In 2014 Lora was the first woman to ever run for Governor in South Dakota.” It might be true on “Planet Lora,” but in the South Dakota that the rest of us reside in, there were several who went before.  That honor belongs to Gladys Pyle, Alice Kundert, as well as others.

But, this is also the candidate who talked about Israel bombing Auschwitz, so concepts such as knowledge and historic accuracy might not be her strong suit.

In her effort for Governor, Hubbel also posted a video statement of why she’s running, aimed about 3 feet above her head, where she talks about corruption, moving bodies, and why deputy coroners can’t do the job of coroners…

I’m just stopping there. There’s too much bizarro world here for a sunny Easter morning.

  1. Would she get out for Stace? I think that’s the real question. A lot of us were thinking Russell for AG and Nelson for governor.

    1. Nobody with a brain is thinking Nelson and Russell. It is a neurological impossibility.

    2. I doubt “a lot” were thinking Russell or Stage for ANY statewide office…they would better serve in state senate where they are now…neither would win statewide.

  2. Nelson is in a supreme negotiating position. He always plays the role of wrecking ball but it’s time for him to evolve and make a deal with Marty or Kristi.

    If he runs for governor then he will go scorched earth on EB5 and gear up. I think that plays into Noem’s hand.

    If he finds a way to cut a deal with Jackley the a two person race (Hubbel really doesn’t impact much) probably benefits Jackley.

    If I’m Stace I drive a hard bargain. His 15% is worth quite a bit in a head to head.

        1. Oh, like recovering 2 thousand dollars on the EB-5 scandal……The tiny state of Vermont recovered 163.3 million. Come on you guys, time to seek the truth.

    1. She was indeed right about the Governor and Medicaid expansion. She was so right about it, Dennis and Pam ran a retroactive rule change through the state party convention, in an effort to keep any expression of opposition to Medicaid from coming to the convention floor for a vote.

      1. I have always thought Lora was a friendly and kind lady. I have never spent much time with her and I don’t always agree with her but she was always kind when she was a legislator.

  4. Reminds of a time when Hubbel came to speak when she ran for Governor before and a few people came to see her speak out of curiosity and not long afterwards they all left the room losing interest from all the nonsensical rambling. There was Lora Hubbel continuing to give her speech to an empty room not even noticing her lack of an audience.

      1. It is not a good sign for candidate Hubbel when all the people walk out of the room during a campaign stop and she continues to speak as if nothing happened and then talks to herself. There was no one in the room. How does she really expect to win?

        1. She doesn’t….or at least she and Stace and Lance all should know they can’t win. at least Stace and Lance can stay in the state senate and do something, she will never get elected to anything again.

        1. Yes Anonymous, it can be very difficult when you have to deal with a no name idiot like you.

  5. If Noem, Jackley, Nelson and Hubbel all ran for Governor who would get more votes Stace or Lora?

  6. Maybe Stace, because in SD, it’s still a man’s world. He needs to be nicer to Lora and me…….right Stace?

    1. Stace doesn’t have the guts to run …he likes causing chaos in the state senate ….

  7. Candidate Hubbel has so far attacked Stace Nelson, now Dennis Daugaard? Does she know that it is Noem and Jackley who are the other two declared candidates?

    Nelson getting in the race ruins Jackley. Nelson’s entrance guts Jackley’s claims of “conservative” and brings the EB5 and GEAR-up to Jackley’s feet. Noem would take a thrashing for her record but would be able to keep her nose ahead of the finish line IF she stayed on empty fluff message.

    I would predict Hubbel in single digits, Nelson in middle-high 20’s, Jackley in low-middle 30’s, Noem with the rest.

    1. Billy Sutton could actually win this in the general. Republican primary? Noem has by far the most money and could focus on fluff. Nelson would hurt Jackley but Nelson would finish behind Rhoden if he were to get into the race. Lora Hubbel would get maybe 300 votes that are crazy enough to vote for her.

      1. 1st place Billy Sutton

        SDGOP primary
        1st place Kristi Noem
        2nd place Marty Jackley
        3rd place Larry Rhoden
        4th place Stace Nelson
        distant 5th place Lora Hubbel

        1. Billy Sutton could sure be a contender. I heard John Triston may be running as a Democrat.

          1. South Dakotans may be ready for change and make steps towards political balance in state government which is badly needed. Billy Sutton could very well pull this off and be our next Governor. He is not tainted by any of the past scandals, is well liked regardless of political affiliation and is very bright.

      2. Hubbel got 20% of the vote against Daugaard in the primary. That was a good practice round for her.

      3. Rhoden? The only press the voters got of him this year was him pressing the panic button. He’s not a good public speaker, his history as a Democrat hurts him, and he’s got all of the EB5 & GEAR-Up Rounds/Daugaard scandals under his belt.

        He would really hurt Jackley.

    2. You don’t know Hubbel…….wait till she takes off those gloves, no holds barred.

      1. you said that back in 2014 and people voted for Hubbel as a protest vote and not for her to be actually elected. vote for the most far out stories in the National Enquirer Lora would win. Holding any elected office again in government? No way!

  9. CORRECTION!

    Lora was not the first woman to run for governor of South Dakota. Alice Kundert ran for the Republican nomination for governor in 1986 and lost to then Speaker George S. Mickelson. Kundert was in a primary race that year with Mickelson, Clint Roberts, and Lowell Hansen.

  10. EM, I didn’t say Hubbel was the first woman to run, unless you are referring to someone else. Alice was a good gal.

      1. I agree those two are NUTS! It’s like 2014 all over again except without Meyers. Otherwise same Looney Toon characters.

        1. Yes please do your research on the 2014 race. Thanks. This blog is starting to trash talk again. Stick with the facts…….but apparently you like fiction better.

    2. Me. Volesky, you may want to start reading Mrs. Hubbel’s comments you try and defend.

      Mrs. Hubbel erroniously claims she was the first woman to run for governor.

      1. You cares. She probably has never heard of Alice Kundert. The only reason I remember her is she is from Herried…..I could be wrong. Or maybe she or her brother lived in my home town of Mobridge….I could be wrong…..that was many years ago. Reaching again. I will tell Lora to make a correction.

  11. What about Gladys Pyle?……. No what a minute, she ran for the US Senate….Never mind….. 😉 (Don’t you just hate the History Nerd Police?….Hahahahaha)

    1. Per the link I had in the story:

      In 1930, following two terms as secretary of state, Pyle announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. Incredibly for the era, Pyle finished in first place in a field of five candidates, winning 28.3% of the vote. Unfortunately, state law at that time stated that, if no candidate won 35% of the vote, the Republican State Convention could choose a nominee from among the candidates. At the state convention, Pyle could not achieve a majority, as the other candidates refused to withdraw in her favor.

      1. Today, Pat wins the “Daily History Nerd Police” award!…Let’s hear it for him!… 😉

  12. In a spirit of transparency, I want to inform Pat Powers and Lora Hubbel I am contemplating a lawsuit for the damages to my mind and sucking up my time listening to this announcement.

    Pat Powers: If you had told me how long this would have taken, I would have just never listened. This is why I’m holding you responsible.

    Lora Hubbel: Being stupid isn’t a crime but you can be civilly sued for the damages caused by stupidity.

      1. If you were sincere, you’d tell readers how long that monologue is and post a warning at least as dire as on a pack of cigarettes.

    2. The smart voters will not bother wasting their time trying to interpret what world or universe candidate Hubble is in. There will be others who out of curiosity will show up to hear her speak like the other candidates but predictably as they have in the past will leave quickly. The rest will feel remorse and kick themselves realizing they will not get that time back.

    3. Troy……..you love it….if you didn’t you won’t read the posts or listen to her monologue…….now come on, be honest.

  14. Lora, Lora, Lora! Your opponents are Marty Jackley and Kristi Noem!

    Rodent won’t get in the race, he’s telling people he’s Kristi’s LtGov pick which is funny because Brian Gosch is being told the same thing.
