The South Dakotans who vote for Dasshole see him as a giant cash register. He promises them cash, they vote for him. He gets the vote off the 'Rez, he gets the farmer vote, etc. Plus a lot of people here are just stupid.

On another alarming note: in South Dakota's Congressional race Stephanie Herseth (sp?) is supposedly leading Republican Bill Janklow in the polls. She is a pal of Hitlery and is supported by Emily's List. But then again, everyone in the state claims to hate Janklow (current Gov.) and he always wins in a landslide, so who knows?

Yeah, I know but the farmer vote is nearly always Republican. The fact is, it doesn't matter if it's the Dems or the Republicans, the farm bill is always going to pass. Too many small towns in rural America are totally dependent on them, not to mention the farmers themselves.
