Exactly. Either convince Julian Beaudion to suspend his campaign to be the nominee for PUC, Commissioner of Schools and Public Lands or some other statewide post or urge Brian Bengs to suspend his campaign and seek the Democratic nomination for the South Dakota Attorney General race. Since Julian will come in third in the Senate race if all three stay in how is that even a choice?

Nathan Daschle: "Brian Bengs is running as an independent against Mike Rounds, and that matters. In South Dakota, the Democratic label carries weight that can bury even a strong candidate before voters hear the message. Bengs has a cleaner lane: veteran, lawyer, former professor, independent, and fed up with Washington.
That is the heart of the race. Bengs does not need to persuade South Dakota to become blue. He needs to give voters permission to fire Mike Rounds without feeling like they are joining a national Democratic project.
The Nebraska example matters here. Democrats there appear to be making room for independent Dan Osborn rather than splitting the anti-incumbent vote. South Dakota should look hard at that model.
That is why this race deserves attention now. If the non-Republican vote is split, Mike Rounds benefits. If the race becomes Bengs versus Rounds, South Dakota gets a real contest."
SD Dems fail to field a candidate for attorney general: KELO teevee.
