You ever get a problem or question in your head you just have to solve? Courtesy of my insomnia, I had one of those. A 4am mystery that was picking at my brain, which I started to talk about in the previous post, more specifically the SD Taxpayers PAC. The group obviously has ties to […]
I was asked to make an appearance on the Greg Belfrage show at KELO-AM this morning, and had assembled some notes about what we can expect to come up for session. As is typical, you never have enough time, but my notes are a good rundown of what we might expect in part. This will […]
Today, Marty Jackley was talking to the Sioux Falls Rotary club, proposing that maybe we do need another level of government in South Dakota in the form of an ethics commission. From the Argus Leader: Attorney General Marty Jackley encouraged Sioux Falls Rotary Club members to support a proposed ethics commission, a provision of a ballot […]
Yes, that’s a Jay Williams for US Senate campaign sign. An Aberdeen correspondent snapped a picture of it next to another sign with an awful design, but the Williams sign is remarkable for it appearing to come from what is supposed to pass for a US Senate Race.

It’s that awful. It has the name, but forgets the office, printed on someone’s copier. Nevermind that this law professor ignores the […]
Being in the business of designing and selling campaign materials, I have to admit that sometimes something that sounds like a good idea, and something that looks attractive on the computer just doesn’t work. I have to wonder if this is one of those times. Because I’m not sure what the designer was thinking. No, […]
Check out Democrat Congressional Hopeful Paula Hawks, and her latest example of awful campaign practices, and what NOT to do: What I’m seeing is her strongest fundraising card, and she’s playing it up front for one reason or another. Potentially, because she can’t raise any money, she’s stuck on first gear, and not gaining any […]
