You know how the old saying goes, “If you have to ask . . .”

A South DaCola foot soldier sent this to me, and it is of no surprise. I wonder if Mike realizes that being mayor of Sioux Falls isn’t a real prestigious job? It’s a job you would really want, really, really want. Not just to help your buddies (like King Dave has) but to help the regular folk. I wonder if Mike is getting caught up in winning instead of governing? Wanna know what the people of Sioux Falls want? Knock on some doors.

I just received a survey call that eventually revealed itself to be a Huether pollster. It started off sensible enough – I have to hand it to his campaign for that. They asked which candidate I plan to vote for, and the two most important issues. They then went through each candidate, and my feelings for each…along with that same question about the current mayor, council, and a couple of organizations.

I laughed at one point, though, and told the pollster they needed one more choice. The question was where I get my candidate information, and the choices included:

1. Candidate’s websites
2. Candidate’s commercials
3. Billboards
4. Local newspaper and TV news
5 – 7. Can’t recall but very similar press-release outlets.

I told the pollster they needed an eighth category for independent blogs.

It was after this point that it became clear that it was a Huether poll, as I was read a handful of statements from him and asked to rate them from 1 – 10. They concluded with whether these statement made me change my choice to him.

Whatever happened to good old fashioned knocking on doors? What does SF have? 60-70,000 registered voters? Oh, that’s right, one candidate has been doing that for over two years, and guess what, his name isn’t Mike, Pat, Bill or Vernon.

  1. Have you seen the “My Man Mike” pamphlet? It is loaded with authentic Sioux Falls vernacular.

  2. “Phillips to the Falls”? Hey, kiddies, can’t get enough lead chips to eat in your Pettigrew Heights neighborhood apartment? No worries, come down to “Phillips to the Falls” and eat the dirt.

  3. Have you seen the “My Man Mike” pamphlet? It is loaded with authentic Sioux Falls vernacular.

    Is that anything like “authentic frontier gibberish”?

  4. That’s funny. But as you know it is going to come down to Mike and Kermit. Notice no one is talking about Downtown Vernon or Jamison?

  5. Just say no to Costello. No more ‘make myself rich’ from developer associations. A return to “competitive” instead of “usual” bid contracts. Maybe some infrastructure work.

  6. John –

    People are not talking about Jamison because he is not running. I’m just saying . . .

  7. Most Sioux Falls voters are imbeciles. Perhaps their rally cry should be:

    “LET MIKEY TRY IT”

    There’s a better candidate, the one who vows to repeal Home-Rule.

  8. L3wis, can you please post some more pictures of boobs that aren’t running for mayor? ty.
