Noem, Herseth Sandlin race brought House race into angrier, less civil area
South Dakota’s recent U.S. House races were notable for their relative civility - a sharp contrast to the state’s knock-down Senate contests. That can’t be said after this year’s battle between Republican Kristi Noem, who will be the state’s next representative in the House, and Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, the incumbent going into the race. (Rapid City Journal, 11/05/2010)
