The big question mark in the open Governor's seat in South Dakota next year has been whether or not Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D) would run. Yesterday, she announced that she would in fact seek re-election to the House, leaving the Democratic field pretty thin. For Sandlin, the move makes some sense, as she has a safe House seat but would face a formidable Republican if she ran for Governor, most likely Lieutenant Governor Dennis Dauggard. Dauggard should be favored in the Republican Primary, although he does have a quality opponent in State Senate President Dave Knudson. The most likely Democratic candidate now is probably State Senate Minority Leader Heidepreim, who had been waiting for Sandlin to decide one way or the other.
Significant►STRONG ADVANTAGE FOR THE REPUBLICANS.
