SDDP claims they have a house candidate. Apparently Chris is not Democrats’ favorite Martian

Pat Powers

From Twitter, South Dakota Democrats proclaim “they have a candidate for Congress”:

“They have an candidate?” Didn’t they have one before? What about their current candidate Chris Martian?

Well….  It’s looking like state Dems are mirroring the their national party’s treatment of Hillary versus Bernie.  One is their favored candidate, and they proclaim they have one. The other? Meh. Chris who?

Dems haven’t been paying attention to Martian at all, and back in May after he had announced, Martian didn’t receive anywhere near the same level of attention. In fact, it seems they completely ignored him:

Are South Dakota Democrats effectively announcing they’re going to run Martian out of the race by ignoring him?   What do you think?

  1. Can you imagine if the GOP announced that it had a candidate for Governor after Marty announced? MSM would go nuts.

  2. That last tweet makes it sound like he’s holding a grudge because they won’t endorse him yet…does he not know how parties and primaries work?

  3. SDDP is ignoring him purposefully, which is a good move. Martian doesn’t seem to have self-control and is quite vulgar. Though it’s confusing Dems announce Bjorkman if he’s changing to Independent? This is going to be fun.

    1. Is he actually changing to independent? He’ll need to say so before I believe it.

  4. I don’t know.. he seems to be catching on. He’s got 46 followers on Twitter. I wonder how many Marty has? Hmmmm… oh, 1753. Never mind.
