Kristi Noem
Would you vote for Noem if she was fat and ugly?
Just curious. Leave your comments.
Lying vs. Negativity
KSFY did a great piece about the Noem campaign’s constant lying vs. Steffy’s (supposed) negativity.
I still don’t think bringing up factual information about Noem’s driving record is negative, and it certainly isn’t false. Claiming your opponent got an ‘F’ rating from the NRA when in fact she was endorsed by them is shameful behavior. But hey, why don’t we talk about bowls of chili instead.
Is this ad against Noem ‘Harsh’?
While I would partially agree showing children about to get run over by a state legislator a bit harsh (even though I find it more strange then harsh) you must also realize that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Remember, another prominent Republican in our state sped and ran stop signs (actually probably less then Noem) and one day because of his negligence (running a stop sign and speeding) he killed a man.
The only thing that is harsh about this commercial is the reality of it and how SD Republicans have trouble with reality. As far as I am concerned, Bill is still in denial. And it seems the Republicans in our state are to, and they seem to have the liberal media in our state under their spell to.

As the Rapid City Journal points out;
The issue of traffic violations played a key role in Herseth Sandlin’s first election to Congress. She won a special election in 2004 after Republican Rep. Bill Janklow resigned following a crash in which he ran a stop sign and killed a motorcycle rider.
Why does Noem sound like she is from BEMIDJI?
I just watched her interview with the Gargoyle Leader, while I will say her hair looked great (a different color now and very ‘Mitchell, SD’ like and her white sweater is super chic, she is still the hick from the sticks with a little jingle in her pocket (and an extra in the movie, ‘Fargo’)
