According to today's Roll Call, nobody is "angrier" about the SD abortion vote than Steve Hildebrand:
ROLL CALL 2/27/06
Speaking of Which ... Of all the (largely predictable) reactions in the political community to last week’s vote by the South Dakota Legislature to ban abortion in the state, none was swifter or angrier than that of Hildebrand.
The South Dakota-based consultant who is associated with several national Democratic candidates and causes set up a political action committee called Common Sense South Dakota designed to defeat the state lawmakers responsible for the legislation. The PAC’s first order of business: put up billboards throughout the district of the abortion ban’s lead sponsor, Republican Roger Hunt, blasting the legislation.
“I can’t sit by and watch these bad actors anymore,” Hildebrand wrote in a fundraising appeal to friends. “They are out-of-step with mainstream South Dakotans. And their legislation will cost South Dakota taxpayers millions in legal fees as they defend this through the courts.”
Hildebrand noted that PACs can spend unlimited amounts of money on legislative campaigns. “You can count on me using this money judiciously — targeting the right races — spending it wisely,” he assured potential donors.
