Was that a basketball game, or a campaign rally?

Pat Powers

The line in Field of Dreams was “if you build it, they will come.”  In politics, the phrase should be “If more than two gather, you’ll see politicos,”  as they’ve been thick at the Summit League Tournament this week. (All photos are from facebook:)

Don’t you hate it when you’re at an event, and that guy in front of you won’t sit down?

Date night with Congresswoman Kristi Noem & her husband Bryon.

Two Republican Constitutional officers together at an event? Someone must be serving a rubber chicken meal before the speeches!

In politics, you learn early on to hide your beer behind the other person when photos are taken.

Are there any I missed? Send them my way!

  2. Neither. It was a Republican town hall meeting. They would rather watch and analyze basketball, than analyze the important issues of the day with their constituents….

      1. Good call! I am. But if you State fans make it to “March Madness,” then good luck. Because when it comes to “March Madness” we are all South Dakotans first!

        1. I find Matt Mooney’s on court behavior interesting. He lets the opposing fans get in his head. Saw several defiant stares toward State fans if he made a ‘big’ play. Not good Christian behavior for someone who claims to play for Jesus.

          Also think his excuse for leaving the Air Force academy is a bit childish.

    2. So they may not do anything in their lives except govern? What a whiny person you are. Why don’t you call up their offices and scream at them if you are so keen to do so? Get a life.

      1. But they govern without true town halls, why is this? Legislators are asked questions at a Legislative coffee and there is nothing but silence, while they read the bills for the first time. And our federal legislators refuse to hold a town hall, why?

        Oh, I have a life and so do you, and so do are political leaders too, but there should be some balance to it and more discourse with the constituents than just “excuse me, excuse me, excuse me” as our political leaders find their seats at the Events Center…..

  3. What, there was a basketball game and Thune isn’t photographed? Must be a first or he’s recovering from the flu. Hope he’s ok…

  5. I saw Sen Thune there, and both Democrat and Republican legislators. Never been there before, great time. The photo of me is when I’m cheering for Daum when he goes out of game – that guy can flat out bring it
