From SDP's correspondent in Pierre:
WHY TUESDAY IN SD WAS A BIG DAY POLITICALLY:
To SDP: Thanks again for all you do, but i think you may missed how BIG last tuesday's voting was. First of all, ALL the conservatives won when they were challenged. And all the "mainstream" RINOs who were challenged in the primaries lost. And Hildebrand had yet another horrible election. The person he pushed to challenge Julie Bartling in the Democratic primary down in Winner area got hammered, as did his candidate in Montana. And all that money that Hildebrand and Adelstein spread around through their nefarious little PAC pyramid schemes was a complete waste--everybody they infused with cash LOST. Adelstein being exposed as a phony was big too--people now know the only reason he ran as a Republican was that he was in a Republican district. The Daschle-Hildebrand-Adelstein alliance was also exposed (don't forget Daschle saying how he was praying that Adelstein would win). So that bit of cynicism is over. Also, some Democratic leaders finally got sick of Hildebrand's abuse and stood up to him. I guess it doesn't matter because he'll be off to run Daschle's presidential campaign soon anyway. Also, the Democrats foolishly picked the liberal, rich Sioux Falls surgeon as their candidate/sacrificial lamb for governor, when they should have listened to Healy and those guys and picked Wiese. I know you're busy with stuff, but this election has really causing some buzzing in Pierre. Keep up the work.
