Franken: Herseth Sandlin Will Vote For Pelosi
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi isn't exactly the most popular figure in most GOP-leaning House districts. Most GOP candidates are quick to say that their Dem counterparts will cast their first vote for Pelosi for Speaker if indeed Dems do return to the majority. And even some Dems, including Rep. Walt Minnick (D) and WV-01 nominee/state Sen. Mike Oliverio (D), have at times been circumspect about who'd they'd support for Speaker post-'10.
With those red-state Dems distancing themselves somewhat from Pelosi, it's interesting to note MN Sen. Al Franken's (D) comments this weekend while campaigning for Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-SD).
Franken visited the state to tour an Indian Reservation with Herseth Sandlin, and he also used the opportunity to tout her re-election campaign. "She has voted differently than I voted on a couple of things," Franken said, according to the Rapid City Journal, "but we need to be able to have somebody here in South Dakota who's going to vote for Speaker Pelosi, not for Speaker Boehner."
While Herseth Sandlin hasn't exactly run away from Pelosi like some other Dems, she can't like the fact that Franken, in this generally conservative, GOP-leaning state, would tout her vote for the Speaker. Herseth Sandlin's first TV ad touted her independence, and her opposition to the "trillion dollar health care plan."
State Rep. Kristi Noem (R) -- who already leads the Dem according to automated polling -- has attempted to link Herseth Sandlin to Pelosi in the past, and we bet these comments will end up in a TV ad in the near future. We also bet Franken won't be showing up as a surrogate in too many more GOP-leaning House CDs this fall.
Thanks for all of your help Senator Smilely,
Herseth
