South Dakotans are honest to a fault. However, it's the OUTSIDERS that will show up to do the cheating en masse. John Thune is the better candidate and I don't know how his poll numbers are right now.

Tim Johnson wants to share "power" with Daschle "just think of the POWER SD will have if you elect me..." Scary stuff.

Jeb is one of the few Governors with the guts to pursue tort reform...like his brother, George.

March 24-26 --(2000) "Trial Lawyers Pour Money Into Democrats' Chests". The article everyone's talking about: yesterday's New York Times shines some overdue light on the trial lawyers' frantic shoveling of vast sums into this year's federal election races. "'It would be very, very horrifying to trial lawyers if Bush were elected,' said John P. Coale, a Washington lawyer involved in the tobacco litigation, who has given over $70,000 to the Democrats. 'To combat that, we want to make sure we have a Democratic president, House and Senate. There is some serious tobacco money being spread around.'"  "What's different this time around," said Michael Hotra, vice president of the American Tort Reform Foundation, "is that everyone recognizes that the stakes are higher. We have a candidate who is making legal reform a core issue and we certainly applaud Bush for that." Also discusses the website ATRF has set up to monitor trial lawyer campaign spending (Leslie Wayne, "Trial Lawyers Pour Money Into Democrats' Chests", New York Times, March 23).

Why the Dems.-lawyers really hate Jeb (and George), they can't be bought and they hate organized crime:

***Jeb Bush of Florida is the real tax-cutting fiscal conservative in the family. In a state with no income tax, Gov. Bush has cut the Florida property tax by $1 billion, and in 2001 he cut the business intangible tax by another $600 million. Earlier this year he took the unusual step
of walking the halls of the Capitol himself asking members of both parties to oppose a sales tax hike sponsored by members of his own party. Mr. Bush has also distinguished himself by promoting one of the most innovative choice-based school reforms in the nation -- a plan that allows students in failing schools to go to any public or private school of their choice -- and by enacting tort reform legislation fiercely opposed by the trial lawyers.
