Spotlight On Kristi Noem
She’s one the people making her debut in the blockbuster hit movie of the year:
Kristi Noem is running for the Congress in South Dakota against Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin.
From ABC News, Jonathan Karl and Gregory Simmons reporting [tip of the fedora to Memeorandum]:
If money is any indication, the hottest Republican House candidate in the country is Kristi Noem. The 38-year-old rancher has raised more campaign cash than any Republican house challenger in the country.
Noem has raised $1.1 million over the past three months, about twice as much as her opponent, Rep. Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin (D-SD). And that money will go a long way: South Dakota’s media market is one of the least expensive in the country.
Noem may need the cash. Herseth-Sandlin is a moderate Democrat with a proven ability to win, and win big, in South Dakota. She decimated her Republican opponent in 2008 with nearly 70 percent of the vote, even as the state voted overwhelming against Barack Obama.
Herseth-Sandlin is an avid hunter and one of the top conservative Democrats in the House. She’s also from a highly regarded South Dakota political family; her grandfather was a governor, her grandmother a South Dakota Secretary of State and her father a leader in the state legislature.
But Herseth-Sandlin has never faced a challenger like Kristi Noem. She’s a rancher, a mother of three, and a staunch conservative who is running on a platform of slashing federal spending and repealing the new federal health care law. She’s also an avid hunter known to hunt elk with a bow and arrow. Her political views and physical appearance have led some to label her “South Dakota’s Sarah Palin.”
Over at Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft has posted one of her commercials.

Quelle babe!
(I’ll miss Nancy Pelosi.)
(OK, maybe not…)
You know, given Sarah’s ability with a rifle and the vernacular of the fifties, (don’t steal my idea!! I’m running to my photoshop as soon as I type this!) you could have also called it “The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!” Heh.
Proof: I can’t wait to see it. Let me know when it’s done and I’ll link it.
Its a hoot……..
Randy: Thanks.
I live up here in Kristi Kountry. I see her lawn signs everywhere, and hear her radio/TV ads frequently. Herseth hardly seems to be running. Has she been abandoned by her party? I just got a call from the Democrap Party, asking who I was going to vote for. They had the bad timing to call while I’m observing the anniversary of my return from Viet Nam. They got an earful of long-simmering feelings. I will remember which party declared me a “specially dangerous potential terrorist”.
And Kristi is prettier too!
Rurik: Two very good reasons to vote for Kristi!
Splendid work, old boy.
Smitty: Thank you and, I almost forgot: Happy Navy Birthday!
ROFL. Love the poster!
Thanks, Roxe. I hear you have a cameo in the film – something involving tactical nuclear weapons.
