Is Superbowl weekend coming up? Because it looks like someone is getting plenty of astroturf ready. Well, not so much in Santa Clara, California where the game is being played. I’m referring to what appears to be playing out in Pierre over House Bill 1067. What started this is that I received an e-mail from […]
It’s that time of the year again, where I do an annual list of the top political stories of 2015. Admittedly, very often my lists tend to set the stage for next year, but in politics, events of the present often foreshadow the events of days to come. Part 1 of my top ten list […]
Just to be clear, I don’t think the current state of the horse race in the Presidential race is the best predictor of the ultimate outcome this far from actual voting. The ground can shift because of a change in prominence of issues (e.g. a major national security matter), perception of positions or the candidate, […]
This is a the beginning of a Presidential campaign without precedent in my life. The Democrats are offering a person being investigated by the FBI for national security violations, an avowed Socialist and a person contemplating his third or fourth run for the White House. On the other hand, the GOP has three candidates who have […]
I don’t put a lot of stock in the current status of the “horse race” as a predictor of who will be the GOP nominee. At this stage in recent elections, Michelle Bachman, Herman Cain and Rick Perry were way out front and we know how that turned out. However, after a few months of […]
I was taking a closer look at the video featuring Annette Bosworth trashing her lawyer Joel Arends (again), when something in the background of the video caught my eye…. I thought “What on earth does she have written on her wall?” And then I blew up a screen cap, and read it. And all I […]
I had a reader drop me a note tonight, and had I seen it for myself, I think it would have caused a spit take: Anderson Cooper just had Annette Bosworth on to hammer Joel Arends and his thing with Veterans for a Strong America and Trump. (Update) And a day later – here it […]
From my e-mail box: Thank you to everyone who attended the GOP Debate Watch party at The District last night. Over 50 people attended and over 40 voted in the informal straw poll. The Poll Results: Ben Carson 19.4% Carly Fiorina 19.4%… Marco Rubio 13.2% Donald Trump 10.6% Ted Cruz 8.8% Scott Walker 8.0% John […]
if you hadn’t heard, a number of people voted at the GOP booth at the state fair in a “presidential corn poll” where fair attendees offered their opinion on who they like in the 2016 Presidential contest. And you can read the full results here! Voters were age 18+, regardless of party affiliation. As provided […]
Okay, I found the latest plug by the Democrats to get their minions to attend the Bill Maher event a bit funny. This week is your last chance to purchase tickets to the Bill Maher show, taking place Sunday, September 13 at the Washington Pavilion. Tickets are still available through the South Dakota Democratic Party […]
