I am lucky enough to get to vote for her in 3 weeks or so.

Republican Kristi Noem has edged back into the lead over incumbent Democrat Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin in South Dakota’s U.S. House race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in South Dakota finds Noem with 47% support, while Herseth-Sandlin earns 44% of the vote. Six percent (6%) like another candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
It remains a very close race. Noem fell slightly behind Herseth-Sandlin last month 47% to 45% for the first time since winning the Republican Primary in early June.
Noem, it appears, is beginning to overcome the impact of news reports about her questionable driving record. Herseth-Sandlin was elected to Congress in 2004 following the resignation of GOP Congressman Bill Janklow who was convicted of manslaughter after he killed a motorcyclist while running a stop sign at high speed.
Despite being one of the few Democrats in Congress to vote against the national health care bill, Herseth-Sandlin is contending with an electorate that’s very unhappy with President Obama and his policies.
This statewide telephone survey of 500 Likely Voters in South Dakota was conducted on October 4, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/-4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence
Kristi needs to put the pedal to the metal now...
Is her last name really worth that much in South Dakota? Is she like a Bush or Kennedy or Murkowski there?
Is there a Losertarian in the race trying to keep the fake Blue Dog in office? Herseth-Sandlin voted for ObamaCare. She shouldn't be north of even 40%!
Noem is getting $50 of my hard-earned money-Just like John Thune in 2004. Both these lookers will be the leading candidate to succeed Tim Johnson when he is up for reelection in 2014. He had health issues. Hopefully both these contributions will bear fruit.
Guess she thinks it is since she felt the need to hyphenate it instead of just taking her husbands name. I’ve never been one for hyphenated names, anyway...just pick one or the other, sheesh. But that’s neither here nor there I suppose.
No she didn't.
A hyphenated last name is an indicator of enlightened status...the woman wants you to know that she isn’t part of the ‘unwashed masses’; and therefore, is entitled to your vote.
Well played, sir...
So what's Mike Rounds doing these days? Any word on his future plans?
Yes, good news and lets hope it holds.
Plus, he would whip Putin a$$ despite Putin's black belt in Judo.
1. Is Thune campaigning for/with Noem? Helping her with $$$
2. What's the status of SD's other senator? Healthwise..will he run again..
Yep, her father was a longstanding South Dakota politician and I’m sure she sees political positions as her hereditary right.
But she still deserves a pink slip.
Yes, she should be booted just for voting for Dingy Harry. And if SD can get rid of her, most Dems in Republican districts should get the boot (fingers crossed)
I mean Pelousi.
