Noem Challenger Robinson Joins Weiland at Dems Dinner in Beresford Saturday

Hey, who's this Corinna Robinson lady? Come hear from the retired Army major and anti-terrorism expert who wants to be South Dakota's next Congresswoman at the Union-Lincoln Democrats fall dinner this Saturday! Beresford Democrat Ann Tornberg (who should be on a ballot herself next year) rings the dinner bell:

Democrats, Independents, and all progressive thinkers in the state of SD will want to be on hand this Sat. Oct. 19 starting at 6:30 pm in Beresford at the Bridges (601 S. 7th) at the Joint Union and Lincoln County Fall Dinner. We’re adding another exciting speaker to our program and she will be joining Rick Weiland, candidate for the Senate, and Zach Crago, Director of the SDDP. We are pleased to welcome Major Corinna Robinson as a speaker. She has recently retired from duties at the Pentagon and is strongly considering a run for Congress. Was there ever a time when Congress needed strong, progressive leadership more? Let’s have a terrific turn-out! See you on Sat. night in Beresford.

PS: It’s Pot Luck and there is no charge for dinner.

Pot luck! No charge! Sounds like my kind of communitarianism! Bring a dish, and see what Major Robinson can dish out!

  • Robinson was vice-president of the Department of Defense Senior Professional Women's Association. She also seems to have worked on foreign policy more substantively than Rep. Kristi Noem has in her three years in Washington.
  • Master's degree from Chaminade in criminal justice administration... could Robinson be we Democrats' Stace Nelson?
  • Rep. Kristi Noem votes NAY on budget/debt-ceiling deal; votes for destruction of America's reputation and global economy. Robinson 2014!

    Lt. Gov. John Walsh, has entered Montana's Dem senate primary: his military background gives him a leg up in another state where defense brings home the bacon.

    Chilling for the party of McGovern.

    Tom Lawrence reminds me that being a veteran gave McGovern a leg up in 1956.

    Officers: contrast with grunts like Rep. Nelson. Big difference.

  4. grundznick 2013.10.16

    Mr. Nelson is a former marine officer of some sort. He was not an army grunt.

    And Mr. Kurtz, I saluted you last Monday over gravy taters with a hearty "Mexican Statehood For The Tribes" salute. The room looked at me odder than usual, but so be it.

    NCO, grud: no liberal arts, humanities. Same as Bob Ellis: lack of chromatography.

    Not surprising that the fact that she's drop-dead gorgeous has driven the mouth breathers onto their haunches. If you can't beat 'em...well, you know.

    )(*&^ sh*t...I'm in love with the mere idea of this candidate just from reading this post and the Argus Poliblog.

    Do your thing, Cory, and start antagonizing her/campaign about setting up social media and a website with an ActBlue account. $$$

    I may live vicariously through South Dakota Dems this cycle. Hell may have frozen over.

    CAH this is interesting and certainly good news for the advertising agencies who cater to elections but unless somehow the voter registrations are manipulated in SD within the next year Ms. Robinson will need some ice in Hades to outsource Rep. Noem from her current job. A known well liked female incumbent from a very well known family could not gather enough votes to abort the challenge of the slightly known well liked former SD Assistant Majority Leader in the House and the Democrats hope that an unknown Washington insider military executive female will?
    OK let's role with this.

  11. Rorschach 2013.10.17

    There will be a lot of sentiment by independents next year to throw out ALL overpaid do-nothing incumbents. People are tired of this s*** from Washington politicians.

    Charlie, you know that the outcome of next year's race isn't as predictable as you would like it to be. Your showhorse has been horsing around too much on the public dime.

  12. caheidelberger Post author | 2013.10.17

    Oh, Charlie, always the pessimist. We have twelve months to work on voter appeal and GOTV. We also have an incumbent who voted last night to keep the government shut down and let the United States of America default... even though she promised West River ranchers she'd do everything she could to get the Farm Service Agency back up and running again. Evidently she can't do much. Roar!

  13. caheidelberger Post author | 2013.10.17

    And no kidding, Taunia! Robinson has zero online presence (she also has no farm subsidies and no Utah mortgage scandal). Time to throw off her military reserve and multicast her message!

    CAH you know I don't respond ad hoc to many and my filter is wide netted. Some of what you just wrote will be scrutinized yet at the same time though the tongue lashing of the Park Service Puppet (oops sorry there is that filter) will be the one Shot Heard Round the State.

  15. caheidelberger Post author | 2013.10.17

    Can you link me that tongue-lashing, Charlie? I have a feeling I'm going to need to be ready to respond. :-)

  16. caheidelberger Post author | 2013.10.17

    Charlie, seriously? You think Cone-gate has more legs than Noem's decision to shut down the government? She closes the government, and she thinks she can distract us by griping about how that shutdown was executed? Give me a break! The "family that drove that far" and spent three days in a ditch in a camper due to a blizzard didn't get to visit Mount Rushmore because Noem shut down Mount Rushmore!

  17. caheidelberger Post author | 2013.10.17

    And what the heck (I'm listening to the video): is Noem saying the National Park Service has a responsibility to leave the monument and go help plow county roads and help ranchers find their cattle Meade County? False outrage! Smoke and mirrors!

  18. caheidelberger Post author | 2013.10.17

    And she spent her time on the job grandstanding about traffic cones when she could have been working on the Farm Bill? Give me a break!

    (Corinna, I hope you're reading and taking notes.)

  19. Dave 2013.10.17

    Wow, Charlie. I hope you aren't spreading that video around too much. Noem's performance is an embarrassment. Her attempt to balance the plight of ranchers who have lost thousands of cattle with the problems faced by a family who, for reasons beyond understanding, decided to drive hundreds of miles into a blizzard to try to see Mt. Rushmore is simply bizarre. She wrapped up this sorry saga last night with her vote, citing an excuse about the deficit that was never an issue in the government shutdown to begin with.

  20. Charlie Hoffman 2013.10.18

    Dave yoU and I both know the main point of the questioning was intended to submit for questioning by reasonable mainstream South Dakotan's WHO gave the order to inflict as much pain as possible by closing off the turn outs for viewing Mt. Rushmore. The side bar story of the stuck traveler may be used for dispersion of the facts by you but the question remains. Who gave the order for the petty move to block the publics access to turn outs for viewing Mt. Rushmore?? The Park Service Puppet said he did not have a clue. What??? Do you believe he did not know Dave?

    Mr. Hoffman, while there cannot be any doubt about the power of government, this new parks and rec's scandal is way too much of a stretch. What is not a stretch is the fact that the new republican party is just too lazy to govern or simply not intelligent enough to do so. By having this constant barrage of hearings of manufactured scandals, is all they have left. Too busy doing nothing to pass a Farm Bill to help the country, they constantly plot like the grade school mentality they share to not work for our country. Not only is this a sad state of affairs you people have put our country in, but a shame that you have the media that is complacent in the ruse. I would love to hear some so called reporter ask NOem or you for that matter, where's the beef? Why won't you guys go to work for America instead of living off the dole? My mom used to say that "if criminals would put as much effort into honest work as they do in dishonest crime, we all would be better for it", that is so true. You are supposed to be there to solve problems and help to enrich our lives, not the other way around. NO More NOem

    Charlie, you're trying to distract us with quibbles about how the corporals carried out the orders that the generals gave them. In this case, the generals are Congress, who ordered that the government shut down. Did you really think the GOP could shut down the government without unpleasant consequences? Do you really think the GOP doesn't have to own those consequences?
