There has to be more to this story. This Giago did not just appear. Where has he been all these years? The dems must have know this could happen. Where are the bribes and, bribes failing, Giago must know that the guy who did Foster is still working for the dems.

If Giago really wanted to twist it, the first thing he should do is release his tax returns and insist that Dashole and his wife, the bag lady, do the same.

But, it is still stragne. Splitting the life Indian or dead Indian vote can only give the election to the good guys. Why is Giago (who can't win) doing this and why hasn't he done it before.

Note to Mrs. Dashole's clients - the price of senatorial influence buying has gone way up, at least until November, because it's value may be reduced to zero in 2005.

Here is a quote from Giago in January:

''My basic reason for running is that for the past 50 years, the Indian vote on the Indian reservations has been taken for granted in this state,'' said Giago, 69, an Oglala Lakota and editor/publisher of the Lakota Journal in Rapid City and the Pueblo Journal in Albuquerque, N.M.

After a while, you get tired of benefactors who don't benefit you, I guess. And maybe the votes for trinkets tactics leave a bad taste. Tim Johnson actually did dump a truckload of toys and clothes on the reservation (through a "charity" group) right before the last election.
