…it seems as if her constituents didn’t like what was in the ObamaDon’tCare bill after all…..

…. In South Dakota, the ObamaCare bill is kryptonite. Herseth-Sandlin voted against it, but only because it was safe for her to do so, and it would still pass.

Herseth-Sandlin has been trying to do what typical South Dakota politicians do. They go to Washington and stay too long. In Washington they do and say one thing and then come home and say another. They play both sides of the fence.

Herseth-Sandlin is getting caught doing it just like Daschle did. She campaigns as a fiscal discipline Blue Dog Democrat, then voted for TARP and Porkulus.

She is about to get burnt by it just like Daschle did.

Thune broke that lock and now this year it looks like the Dakota congressional delegation will go from 5-1 in the Dems favor to 2-4 for the GOP. In ND for the House Berg (R) is ahead of Pomeroy (D) by 52 to 43. In ND for the Senate Hoeven (R) vaporizes Potter (D) by 72 to 23. Thune will be reelected and now Noem is in a good position against Sandlin. The only Dems who will retain their jobs are those who are not running this year.

B..b..but I thought that passing the health care bill was gonna stop making them lose

You mean that forcing unpopular legislation on the country hurts majority party incumbents?

The sad break for Sandlin is that she is a blue dog who voted against the health care bill and she still isn’t getting any strength for that. I’m not shedding any tears though. Sorry “moderates,” that’s what you get for being in Nancy’s party. If you want credit for bucking the party, then oust the extreme leadership that is trying to drag this country into socialism.

I’m wary of counting unhatched chickens, but with South Dakota deep red and this being a Republican year, this is looking pretty close to a big pickup. This was somebody who was considered one of their rising stars. 3 term incumbent here… does she bail and decide to retire at the ripe age of 40, or does she start talking guns and try to make the state forget that she’s pro-choice.

I was just using the CA primary as an example; out there (or NY, etc.), a money bomb is a relative drop in the bucket. Same with any expensive media market.

SD, however, is a small state; cheap media market; and it’s a general election, where our money will be used against a Democrat, not against other Repubs. That was my only point – that dollar for dollar, we can do much more to impact this race.

This is also another strike against the liberal feminist mold. Kristi is another hot conservative woman.

I know this might sound shallow—but your hair looks as if it was done by the hairdresser for the B52s (The rock group, not the strategic bomber).

Then again, Herseth-Sandlin looks anorexic…
