The rest of Billie Sutton’s Year End Report is up. And it may be more interesting than part 1.
Sutton Supplemental by on Scribd
Part 2 shows us that a number of groups pumped cash into Sutton’s effort, including a $435k bump from Democratic Action PAC. But what really caught my eye was a $15K donation from the State Democrat party on Sutton’s report.
Wait? The State Democrat Party donated $15,000? “What $15,000?” according to the filing from State Dem’s. Because, it isn’t on their state report.
and their last Federal Report certainly doesn’t have a donation of that nature…
Hmm… That might be a good question.
But, who am I to ask?
Will Billie be our next US Senator? I could see him bringing a down to earth and moderate approach to the US Senate.
Moderate approach??!! He supported Sanders and voted for Hillary. And now somebody is lying on their financial reports. Good luck with that!
I’m a lifelong Republican but SD can’t get ahead without a balanced team in Washington. Billie Sutton can beat Rounds.
Well, LLR, how does a balanced team in Washington help SD? Billie Sutton supports abortion even when he doesn’t. BS will support tax increases. Where is BS on regulations? My guess is he will pull at the heart strings again and then, if he actually runs, will have a painfully close loss. In the end, South Dakotans believe in electing officials that will at least mirror their values.
I agree.
Three words. Not a chance.
How do you spend $1.7 million and only raise $1.1 million?
And, considering $1.5 million went for advertising, printing, and postage, this wasn’t a political campaign (get out the vote, organization, etc.). It was a shallow marketing campaign.
I love this is the salvation of the SDDP.
That’s pretty typical if you follow SOS reports. This was just the spending and take in since the previous report. Obviously he had a fair amount on hand at the end of the previous report to be able to spend that much and still have some left. Simple math. But obviously either he or the party goofed something up in their reports to not fully account for the 15,000.
You are correct. I only had my phone earlier and missed the prior period cash on hand.
We have become a country where when one coach hollers out “ We have one more CHECK to earn so let’s go get it!!” of the two Super Bowl coaches and it doesn’t appear to spike a “WTF” anywhere that really is all that matters to them”?”
Why are we at all concerned where money for politics comes from?
You are correct that it was a marketing campaign… A good looking young man in a cowboy hat with a compelling story of being injured in a rodeo accident. How many people heard and saw that but never looked at his stance on the issues?
He can’t beat Thune or Dusty, so Rounds is probably his best bet. He’ll still lose but not by as much.
Sen Thune and Sen Rounds’ approval ratings, based upon polling done among South Dakotans, consistently rank in the top 6 of all U.S. Senators. I highly doubt liberal backing Billie, with his paper thin resume, is ever going to cause either of them to lose any sleep.
This is the party of Hillary (and Bill) Clinton… No one has followed the law yet, because there never seems to be any consequences… Why would Billie worry about such silly things?
Will there be a similar analysis of Noem?
Sure. It’s all public so find something significant like this and bring it up on your blog.
Cinder, you are so correct. There is a lot of “What I wish to be true, I will say is true,” especially with regard to Rounds because they have a personal beef with him.
90% of the anonymous comments negative to Rounds are from the same two people. And, the same person often posts more than once to give the impression it is more than one person who agrees with them.
If Thune and Rounds keep working hard, meeting the folks, and fighting for the issues important to the interests of the people, they will be re-elected.
I go to see daily some web sites and information sites to
read articles, but this web site offers feature based writing.
