In Politics: The Democratic National Convention begins in 10 days. President Joe Biden’s withdrawal as the Democratic Presidential Nominee and his replacement with Kamala Harris has sent most Democrats into a state of Euphoria. So far polls have justified their more optimistic mood and their dreams of success have extended into hopes of winning the House and maintaining their Majority in the Senate. We hope the polls are right and Democratic momentum continues through their Convention and on to Election Day in November. One thing we are sure of, Republicans and their 34 time convicted felon of a Presidential Candidate will do anything to win. It will be a grind but with hard work there is reason to have faith that Kamala Harris and Democratic candidates run the table and our Democratic System maintains itself.
In Politics: In South Dakota: I still wait for signs of a campaign, any campaign, by South Dakota Democratic candidates and The South Dakota Democratic Party (SDDP) without much success.
On the Voter Registration front in South Dakota, so far in August the Democratic Party has added 129 voters to its voter roll while the GOP added 778. The SDDP has stopped its decline and improved its game but it is still falling further behind and losing the race badly.
