Now if she could just get her Thune handlers to apologize to Tom Daschle.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-83174240102560582902010-12-06T18:23:22.406-07:002010-12-06T18:23:22.406-07:00It matters because Dascle was vilified in a distor...It matters because Dascle was vilified in a distorted video as being a DC resident, having an east coast mansion and being someone that could no longer relate to South Dakota values. No different from this guy. Cory is simply pointing out the hypocrisy that SD voters were too, ah, you fill in the blank, unable to figure out.JohnSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232529806415462712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-46978207038368947712010-12-06T16:43:34.214-07:002010-12-06T16:43:34.214-07:00Ryan,

It made SD look very small-minded and backwards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026252780546369717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-7859292528050853092010-12-06T12:09:20.891-07:002010-12-06T12:09:20.891-07:00You said it yourself, Cory.

Successful Washington P.R. dude!"<br /><br />Jordan Stoick has been in Washington for awhile, he's originally a South Dakota guy who has found success working in Washington, and he probably picked up a bargain from a politician or staffer who just lost his/her job on November 2nd. That same house around here would fetch about $275,000, unless it was lakefront.<br /><br />The positive factor is that Noem found a home-state staffer who is familiar with Washington to help her hit the ground running.GoldManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478566547133172418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-45656129944436667012010-12-06T05:57:27.836-07:002010-12-06T05:57:27.836-07:00I don't understand how a staffer's home pu...I don't understand how a staffer's home purchase should affect our representative's job performance. Nice houses are more expensive in Washington then in South Dakota. I'm not seeing any great sin against society.Michael Blacknoreply@blogger.com
