 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, October 10, 2002 VOL. I Issue 10E DASHCLE GIVES W SUPPORT South Dakota Senator Tom Dashcle says that he will vote to give W the power to do what he needs in the Iraq situation. He has done this to "give America one voice". Senators, in a "practice vote" (practice makes perfect I guess) supported the president 75-25. Exactly what W will do with this newfound power is a mystery. All of us at the Holabird Advocate are down on our knees praying that whatever happens is best not only for America, but for the rest of the free world as well. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by Hiram Gonagan Shortly after getting home from Alaska I heard that Kristi Hinkle's Grandfather died. On behalf of all of us at the Holabird Advocate to the whole Van Tassel family we give our most heartfelt condolences. My trip to Alaska was a waste of time. what I saw of it pretty much sucked. As for Darrel, Kristi, and Britt, they made St. Louis, Mo. at 6pm last night, and are safe in Augusta as of 8am this morning. Harold Hinkle reported that they will be there awhile. I'll have more details as the become neccessary. REPUBLICANS DRAW FIRST BLOOD THEN RUSH TO STOP THE BLEEDING by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate It's a first in South Dakota politics. The Republican Central Commitee ran an ad that ran 4 times before both The Herseth camp and The Comittee asked that it be pulled. This ad stated the false accusation that Stephanie Herseth didn't register to vote until 2001. While Ms. Herseth did register to vote that year, she had previously registered to vote in 1989 at age 18. She had registered in Maryland, where she was going to University, to vote in 2000 in the presidential election. She had to, it appears, re-register to vote in South Dakota last year. This ad could have been a despairate tactic, as it seems that the latest poll has Herseth over Janklow with 45% compared to Janklow's 41%. Terry Begay doubled his previous 1% to 2% so good news for him (hope we helped you there Mr. Begay). The rest, some 13% are undecided. This poll was taken last week and has a margin of error of 5% either way. One thing is for sure, Ms. Herseth is no underdog. It is needlkess to say that I and this newsblog had seen something of a winner in her, and that is why we have endorsed her. At press time 80% of the Readers felt that way to, according to the Reader poll.
