Is that supposed to be a parody or something? LOL
The author should apply to SNL.

[Lief 🗽]

This is amazing.

[Mehmentum]

What a great ad for Varilek!

So, you guys, which one of these two do you think is The Mole?

[Antonio the Sixth]

So, one candidate has spent his years traveling around the world, advocating for progress and trying to make a difference, while the other spent them... farming.

And in bizarro world, this pursuit of education and science is somehow a liability when put next to someone who farms a lot.

Corndogs!!!

I know who I'd vote for.

[GMantis]

Now, the GOP attacking someone for being well educated and having lived in foreign countries is nothing new, but what's the deal with the corn dogs?

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Damn people with fancy uni diplomas.

Well, thank God that Republicans aren't anti-intellectual and anti-education.
At least that's what Inks told me.

This is South Dakota we're talking about. It makes her relatable, as that's what a lot of the state makes their money off of.

I'd never heard of Varilek before but now he's one of my potential favorite Congressmen.  Thanks for educating me, SDGOP!

[Knives]

Hopefully this backfires bad.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

Why oh why did South Dakota kick out Stephanie Herseth-inksing-Sandlin and replace her with this crapsack?

[Rooney]

That Varilek guy hits me as some Fabian Socialist UN lackey. I certainly hope he is not sent to congress as that is already the largest single group of people in the U.S. Congress. I thought we wanted diversity in the national legislature?

[badgate]

Hilarious. My favorite part was "radical ideas" vs "South Dakota Common Sense"...it's not even a balanced comparison.

...Are you trying to troll?

Let's run a grassroots campaign to have Anderson redub this.

I have not been paying any attention to this race, but I doubt this ad will backfire. It will probably be more effective than those mocking it suspect. The comments about 'corn-dog parties' are likely hoping to lead potential voters to focus on the beer more than the corn-dogs. As someone who used to live in Montana and now lives in Denver, I think there's a definite distrust of 'outsiders' in the rural West.  I think the point of the ad is fairly clear: claiming Kristi Noem is a 'real South Dakotan',  while portraying Matt Varilek as an 'outsider' and not a 'real South Dakotan'.
