Spread the word!<br /><br />And Rod, instead of guessing on donations, let's look at the <a href="http://fec.gov/DisclosureSearch/mapHSApp.do?drillLevel=state&stateName=SD&election_yr=2010" rel="nofollow">FEC reports</a>: The NRA Political Victory Fund had given SHS $2500 this cycle prior to June 30 (the Q3 report still isn't up). As of June 30, NRA had given oem none. <br /><br />Let's all face the fact: The NRA really prefers Stephanie Herseth Sandlin over Kristi Noem.

I'm guessing they are sending money to both Noem and Herseth-Sandlin, making sure they hedge their bets, regardless of which candidate wins.<br /><br />I've read the ad, and if you want to see something, it is probably there, but the fact is that both women like to hunt and shoot guns, which is part of our state's heritage. I see the ad as Kristi saying, "I'm just as qualified to be endorsed by the NRA", putting them on equal standing.<br /><br />Does it really matter who the NRA endorses anyway? It is simply an emotional, "don't take our guns away" ploy any time NRA is mentioned in campaigns. The reality is nobody is taking anything away so far, and we only have two years until that risk also passes.GoldManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478566547133172418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-81426928689350843122010-10-14T20:22:50.157-06:002010-10-14T20:22:50.157-06:00Good question, Frank.

I think it's important that the people of SD know that the Noem flier was very misleading. I know she is lying her way through the election but I follow this race very closely...not everyone that votes does. They need the truth!Frank Andersonnoreply@blogger.com
