I remember once upon a time getting excited when Ross Perot talked about taking a shovel to Washington. But watch out for Charlie Johnson: he's taking a pitchfork to Pierre:
Charlie's got the bibber-cred to tote that pitchfork. He knows something about pitching out horse manure and pitching in to solve problems.
Also visiting Madison for DSU's homecoming parade were our Democratic PUC candidates:
Matt needed a big meal; he headed straight to Sioux Falls for more campaigning!
Once Matt got through the line, Nick also got some chow and some time to relax with his granddaughter. Thanks for coming to town, fellas!
Update 12:14 MDT: And here's a photo bonus: our next Congressman, Matt Varilek working the Madison crowd:
Varilek better kick Kristi's butt in the debates and not let her get away with being vague.
The use of the pitch fork was to point out the message on my sign which was"Charlie will pitch your views in Pierre"--this in reference to supporters "pitching" their legislation in committees.
Charlie, I wish you took PayPal for donations. Is there an issue with that? I bet Cory could explain to you how to get connected if it is allowed. Every account has a confirmed bank account or bank card with (I assume) name and address information available.
Charlie, that pitchfork is a multi-pronged metaphor!
Justin, I'll be happy to help Charlie create a PayPal account. But until then, feel free to send a good old check by mail!
