Politico: Noem amendment doomed

Kristi Noem has been asking young white people to join her campaign to help defend, at taxpayer expense, the seat she holds. She is whoring for donations in safe settings and wants the federal government to spend more in her failed red state yet has no clue where she will get the money.

Senator don Juan Thune (earth hater-SD) is trolling for young straight white christians as campaign workers:

Interns in Thune’s state offices will participate in constituent service and state outreach activities, while students in the Washington office will have the opportunity to witness the legislative process, give Capitol tours, and attend Senate votes and hearings. Both in-state and Washington internships will allow students to work closely with constituents, hone their research and writing skills, and learn a multitude of valuable office skills.--Yankton Press and Dakotan.

Public Policy Polling has just released findings that show Rep. Krusti Noem (earth hater-SD) would lose the seat she holds to Democratic former House member Stephanie Herseth Sandlin: a popular figure getting a 52/37 favorability rating with 30% of earth haters who would cross over to support SHS. From Tom Jensen at PPP:

South Dakota might be next on the list of states where Republicans have a bruising Senate primary. Herseth Sandlin would lead Noem 48/47 in a rematch of their 2010 contest, and would start out trailing Rounds by a 49/44 margin.
