It doesn't appear that your little "blog" is concerned with accuracy, but to the extent it is, you might want to also note the similarly "stunning developments" that former Rep. Bill Janklow, Governor Rounds, and Arnold
Brown, Pres Pro Tem of the SD Senate have also "refused to provide any responses" to the [Project Vote Smart] test. Btw, your lame attempts to be the Matt Drudge of the greater Vermillion area are completely entertaining! Keep 'em coming! We are getting lots of laughs in DC. Good luck with your job search!
The e-mailer is correct that Bill Janklow, Governor Rounds, and Arnold Brown have all told PVS to take a hike. However, each of these individuals have a voting record that can be scrutinized. Janklow and Rounds have spent a long time in public life, and therefore there is an abundance of publicly available material to sift through that can be analyzed to predict voting behavior, and be held accountable for it. Additionally, none of these individuals are running for South Dakota's lone House seat.
Larry Diedrich, as a former state legislator, also has a voting record that can be scrutinized, and has previously provided responses to PVS. By comparison, Stephanie Herseth has no voting record, and has shown a tendency to dissemble and obfuscate when directly questioned on the issues. The fact that she has refused to provide any responses to PVS is just another piece of evidence that indicates a pattern of obfuscation and dissembling on the part of Stephanie Herseth.
