The new mantle of '12?: Like Mitt Romney, the Junior Senator from South Dakota is straight out of central casting for the role of president. Intelligent, articulate, handsome, with a winning smile and an easy going disposition - it's hard to locate anything missing from the prototypical presidential check list.

The Democrats' 2010 challenge from the left

Marathon Pundit (Free subscription) | 11/16/2009

South Dakota is a conservative state, and with its large Native American population, many of its residents have at least second-hand knowledge of the failure of government-run health care. The Rapid City Journal is reporting that a group called Progressive Change Campaign...

I thus hesitate to use words like hammers , skewers , or other such violent metaphors to describe his writing. But Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin's Blue Doggery has provoked Mr. Hurst to come out swinging. Hurst offers...
