Last Valentines Day, South Dakota businessman Ted Hustead fell in love, politically speaking.
His states legislature was considering taxing road signs. For Hustead, the owner of Wall Drug, that meant war. Wall Drug may have more road signs than any single entity on the planet. The signs stretch for hundreds of miles along Interstate I-90 and are also in Paris, Kenya, London and at the South Pole.
While testifying against the bill, Hustead began to take notice of a new face.
All of the sudden Im just sort of watching her on the committee and noticing her and noticing how articulate she is, and how knowledgeable she is and how she understood both sides of the issue, said Husted. After the committee dispersed I just sat back in my chair and watched her work the room. I was just very impressed with her.
She was state Rep. Kristi Noem and Hustead, one of the most powerful political money men in the state, would be a good friend to have, helping her raise more than $2 million.
Unimpressed with two other candidates whod announced runs, Hustead learned from a lobbyist friend that Noem would be announcing her candidacy for South Dakotas only seat in the House of Representatives the following day.
I said to the lobbyist, Please get a hold of Kristi Noem and have her call me
I know where the money is, Hustead said. Noem agreed to drive across the state for dinner.

Oh that's funny. I went to the SF Opera with my son - it was when it first opened after a huge remodeling so there were all sorts of celebrities and money there. My son said "did you see the blonde at the top of the stairs?" and I said "oh, the one in the blue dress?" and he said "I didn't see what she was wearing".
LOL
BTW, I think Kristi is quite good looking, hair and all. All these good looking conservative women must be driving the rats nuts.
Ted has to be way to old for her.
Sorry fella’s it looks like a wig to me...
How do these things get started?
Bye them their loosers.
Well? Is she hotter than Bachmann?
I say, You Betcha!
lol
“The hair is sexy and the outfit looks more like a Central American guerrilla combat outfit.”
So?
Isn’t it finally time we saw some actual “American guerilla combat” in the halls of D.C.?
Or do we want just more milquetoast conservatives, like most of the rest of them appear to be?
It’s time for some real “fighting”.
Go get ‘em, Kristi!
I dunno; I think that all of the sudden, people just start talking that way.
Check out the animal blastin’ brunette from S. Dakota! Ms.Kristi Noem!
Noem? I haven’t even met’em...
Liberals will hate her.
Sarah who???
LOL!
Sometimes it's irksome to keep hearing the phrase "all of a sudden." What's wrong with using the word "suddenly" in place of "all of a sudden"? It sounds better to me.
The pictures you-all are posting look like the real deal. Such a gorgeous woman. If I weren’t married, she’s the kind of girl I’d be looking for. But for city folks we’d have to get her a new do and some decent threads.
She can come on my farm and ride horses and hunt quail all she wants (we don’t have pheasants).
I cringe when I hear “My Bad”. So stupid.
You just answered it: "All of the sudden." ;-)
Cheers!
Looks more like safari togs. (Hot, isn't it?) She must be going after big game.
Clicked on the story but got immediately distracted by the link to the topless Megan Fox story. Ok, now back to the cowgirl story.
Ya'll two boys just calm down already
I was making observations not speculations.
