In case you were not aware of this group.....

"A blog keeping an eye on Republican S.D. U.S. Senator John Thune and South Dakota politics"

"Thune Watch," and its sister blog, Rounds Watchare policy and fact-based blogs keeping an eye on Republicans Gov. Mike Rounds and U.S. Sen. John Thune. It is edited by Todd Epp, a Democratic and progressive activist from Harrisburg, SD.

"Todd is a partner in Abourezk and Epp Law Offices in Sioux Falls. His first career was as a journalist. He has been a producer / reporter for KTWU-TV (PBS) in Topeka, KS; former host of "Statehouse" for SD Public TV; former executive producer for KSFY-TV (ABC) in Sioux Falls; former weekend anchor for KDLT-TV (NBC) in Sioux Falls; and former stringer for the Sioux Falls Argus Leader. He was the "token liberal" in 2004 on "Straight Talk with Greg Belfrage" on KELO-AM in Sioux Falls. He is a "spin doctor" and news analyst for KSFY-TV. He has been a freelance writer most of his adult life, with articles appearing a wide variety of scholarly and popular publications, including the Washburn Law Review, South Dakota History, Kansas History, the Washington Post, the Kansas City Star, South Dakota Magazine, and the Tea-Harrisburg Champion...."

2. Huh? Blog

So what does this blog do?

"Expose" Thune?

What about building SD Dems instead?

Building is greater.

Anyone from any party can attack.

Building means people are involved in having Democrats doing something, not carping about perceived flaws in X or Y or Z.

3. Building the SD Democratic Party

Besides keeping an eye on Thune, I am also involved with Grassroot Democrats here in Sioux Falls. We are working on a number of projects, from monitoring politicians to getting people plugged into the state and local parties to registration efforts to just having fun. Our website is http://www.grassrootdems.org and we would love having any local Democrats who are interested involved in our efforts.
