According to an article in the New York Times, if the Republicans make big gains in the House and Senate on Election Day, they will owe part of their victory to the millions of dollars raised and spent as a result of the Supreme Court Decision last summer making unlimited corporate campaign contributions legal.
According to the Times, several groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Action Network and Crossroads GPS have committed to spending well over $150 million in Congressional campaigns this fall.
And Stephanie Herseth Sandlin's campaign says a chunk of that money is being directed against her. Campaign staffers say the American Action Network plans to spend $418 thousand here in South Dakota before Election Day, and the money is unaccountable.
The American Future Fund is another group that is spending $353 thousand, and still another group called Common Sense is spending $100 thousand.
Sunday, the Herseth Sandlin campaign called on Kristi Noem to take a stand against the outside funding, saying "South Dakotan voters have no way to know where this money comes from."

Can South Dakota voters trust what Kristi Noem says? This blog will chronicle the difference between what Kristi Noem says, and what Kristi Noem does. Unfortunately for South Dakota voters, there’s often a lot of difference between the two.
