Todd Epp dropped out of the Democrat Party. One reason was not getting communications director position with the South Dakota Democrat Party. SDP posts a press release giving some insight on the person who topped Todd Epp:
In addition to these outlandish comments, it makes one wonder what message will be sent when the new communications director for the South Dakota Democrat Party implies she is an animal activist.

Professor PP said this earlier:
What? What? Did I miss something? From her own comments, it would appear to me that she's labeleing herself as an animal activist. In addition to labeling the people who put up the billboard as obtuse.
Are we to imply by her words that she condones animal activism in South Dakota?
Yes, fellow bloggers on the opposite side of the aisle, I'm sure that's an unfair and extreme example. But when there's statements out on her part like this, it begs the question; How is the South Dakota Democratic Party going to convince voters who can swing one way or the other that they represent mainstream South Dakota when their spokesperson calls herself an animal activist?
There's at least one Democratic State Senator who might not like it (2nd letter).
And for you Dem board members who didn't pick Epp for the job - When I had lunch with him the day of the interviews, I seem to recall he at least ate beef. (It's what's for dinner, you know).
I wonder what Tony Dean has to say about this? I remember him siding with the animal rights activists in regard to the aerial hunting of coyotes.
