SDPB mentions Lora Hubbel’s run for governor and gives her a chance to stir vague fears of growing danger in South Dakota:
“What propels me is what I see happening to South Dakota is dangerous for my grandkids. It’s dangerous for people seeking healthcare,” Hubbel says. “I just see a foreboding scene coming on the horizon if South Dakota keeps going in the direction that they are. I think they need to change” [Lee Strubinger, “Former State Representative Hubbel Running for Governor,” SDPB Radio, 2017.07.10].
What, Common Core is going to kill your grandkids? Sanford and Avera are going to give you the wrong pills? Who knows what fear the fringe-Right will holler about. And since the fringe-Right is kind of bad at collecting petition signatures and fielding viable candidates, we may never know.
