Larry Diedrich, the GOP nominee for the special election to fill South Dakota's empty House seat, has begun his campaign. The special election will be held June 1, and you can contribute to Larry's campaign by clicking HERE and scrolling to the bottom of the page. Though I'm a starving student, I've already made a small donation. If you're reading this blog, you're a motivated reader who cares about the issues, and if I can spare at least $10, you can too. Larry is a good man and deserves as much support as possible.
Diedrich opposes Stephanie Herseth, one of Emily's List's "recommended candidates." Herseth is trying to raise $3 million for her campaign. Emily's List is a political action committee that supports candidates with radical pro-abortion views. They oppose the partial birth abortion ban. Despite what David Kranz, the dean of South Dakota political reporters, tried to tell us in his column yesterday, Herseth is not a moderate. The most compelling evidence of Herseth's extremism is that Herseth's picture is right next to Senator Barbara Boxer's picture on the "list." Even establishment Democrats think that Emily's List is too extremist for their tastes, as recorded in a story in the American Prospect, a liberal publication.
And isn't it interesting that Tom Daschle is the very first person quoted on the "About Emily's List" page?
