I’m starting to wonder if there’s any Republican political philosophy behind GOP Congressional candidate Thad Wasson other than throwing stuff against the wall and seeing if anything sticks.
I love an underdog, but there’s a difference between being an underdog, and barking at the moon.
Recently on the candidate blog he’s [...]
It looks like lots of good political events are taking place this week, with the GOP House forum last night, the Farm Bureau Gubernatorial forum in Rapid City on Satuturday and tonight’s offering at the Gene Abdallah Game Feed, where the speaker will be Oliver North.
I’ll be there again this [...]
From my mailbox:
Siouxland Republican Women’s forum for the three declared candidates for the Republican Primary for the US House of Representatives race included a full house at Westward Ho in Sioux Falls Tuesday night with over 100 people attending including television and press representatives. The three candidates, Sec. of State [...]

Just a little blast from the past, for the 1940 election cycle. Wendell Willkie and then gubernatorial candidate (later US Senator) Harlan Bushfield.
Ironically, Willkie would be dead 4 years later, and Bushfield only lived 8 years after that, dying while in [...]
So says Texas Governor Rick Perry:
Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country.
Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Women’s group, Perry said that “this is an administration [...]
I have argued that the Republican Party is fractured, and much of that evidence is the more extreme portion of the tea party protesters. They have the Obama as Hitler stuff and the birther people, and some politicians support some aspects of it. At any rate, this made (makes) me [...]
Heard there was a great event out west last night. Over 125 folks in attendance for the Lawrence County GOP Gubernatorial Forum and Potato feed.
My guy Scott Munsterman, Dennis Daugaard, and Ken Knuppe were all there, and Dave Knudson was represented by a video tape that [...]

Last week, somebody from GOP gubernatorial candidate Dave Knudson's staff called and asked to visit with us during an upcoming campaign stop in Mitchell. Knudson came to our' [...]
GOP U.S. House candidate Blake Curd, of Sioux Falls, issued a news release Sunday about U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D. Curd took issue with the timing of Herseth Sandlin's announcement that she planned to vote "no"on the House health-care bill.
"... In the same manner that Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin [...]
I have been pointing out that the so-called moderate Repubicans to be the same as the Progressives who are running the Democrat Party. I have also been saying that the GOP leadership want conservative to be voters, but not part of the party leadership. Allen Keyes has support for [...]

The growing rift in the Republican Party, highlighted by yesterday’s House election in New York’s District 23, reminds CBS’s Bob Schieffer of the Democrats in 1972 and the presidential defeat of South Dakota’s own George McGovern.
Here’s video from [...]
RNC Chair Michael Steele claims the GOP has no ideological divisions. I am not sure I agree. The GOP has seemed fractured for some time.
The whole thing was brought up by a congressional race in New York’s 23rd Distrcit. Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee, eventually dropped out after Doug [...]
I would like to congratulate Gov-elect Chris Christie and Bob McDonnell for taking back the Governor’s chair in New Jersey and Virginia respectively.
I hope this is a sign of things to come for the GOP
[...]As Democrats are doing their best to find any way to spin the election results in a positive way, unfortunately for them it isn’t working very well. In an election where independents swung wildly towards the GOP in general, voters are sending a direct message that they’re willing to hit [...]
