Quote:

South Dakota was a 22 percent Bush victory in 2004:

Yet here we are this year, looking at a 9-point deficit. McCain is at 50 percent, and he'll likely take the state's three electoral votes. But Obama has radically transformed the state of that state -- and has pushed South Dakota closer to "purple" status.

Meanwhile, Sen. Tim Johnson wins 57-35, winning even 28 percent of Republicans. Not that anyone thought this race was competitive, but Senate Republicans did enter the cycle hoping to be competitive in the state. Then Johnson had his stroke, which made him more difficult to attack. And Republicans put up their flesh-eating penis-enlarging zombie candidate, Steve Kirby, which turned this race into a farce. A hilarious farce. Kirby is long gone, as are the GOP's hopes to take this seat.
