A South Dakota Moderate

Not sure how long this YouTube video will last on line but here is SNL’s Hillary Clinton satirical speech (yes Randell, this is how satire is accomplished) on why she isn’t leaving the race from last night’s show.

If anyone is still wondering why Hillary Clinton is still in the race despite an almost killer blow in last night’s primaries, MSNBC is reporting that after last month, she has 11.4 million reasons to stay in the race to the end.
WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has lent her presidential campaign $6.4 million over [...]

Hillary announced she had hired a South Dakota campaign director last week and this from the email inbox this afternoon:

After Hillary’s somewhat comical staged event to promote her and John McCain’s “gas tax holiday” idea in which she showed us that she can’t pump her own gas (or make her own cappuccino), I remarked that it would be a good topic for an Obama ad. While my idea for an ad in response leaned [...]

As I wrote about before, detractors of Barack Obama like to use the “elitist” buzzword when trying to explain why they are not going to vote for him. Last night I saw that same image being portrayed again on the evening news in between shots of him bowling and Hillary doing a shooter when they [...]

Dave Kranz has a column in this morning’s Argus that tries to explain why South Dakota “matters” and how we could now play a big part in deciding the Democratic Presidential nominee. He goes on to explain that Obama and Clinton finally now seem to know where we are on a map with their recent [...]

The latest American Research Group Poll from Pennsylvania now has Hillary Clinton up by 20 points over Barack Obama 57% to 37% but what I find more interesting than signs of a possible backlash for Obama’s guns and religion comments (the last poll had them almost even) is this:
Key finding: “23% of likely primary voters [...]

Hillary spent the weekend consoling us mid-westerners hurt by Barack Obama’s comments on how many of us were “bitter and clinging to guns and religion as a way to explain our frustrations”. Among many of her comments meant to show us how she differs from the “elitist” Obama, she made sure she stressed how she [...]
