Jackley Endorses Noem! Noem Endorses Jackley! Ravnsborg Is Toast

When my eager readers caught killer Jason Ravnsborg out scheming with Brookings Republicans to stage an improbable convention coup and cling to the Attorney Generalship, I thought immediately of my hunting and litigating pal Marty Jackley. Marty, I thought, you need to drop the hammer on this Ravnsborg punk.

Instead of a good whack whack whack, the sound we heard today was the smooth slide of silk sheets as the Silver Fox got in bed with the Snow Queen:



In 2018, after Kristi Noem trashed Jackley in the gubernatorial primary, Jackley didn’t endorse Noem until a rather unenthusiastic pride-swallowing on October 24, just a week and a half before her narrow victory over Democratic candidate Billie Sutton. Now, with more than a month left for better options for Governor to present their petitions, Jackley is “honored” to offer his “full support” to the women who’s running the state a lot less attentively and effectively than he would have. But he’s been angling for a couple years to demonstrate his good will. He defended drunk Senators in 2020 to keep her bleary-eyed Lieutenant Governor and the party’s brand out of trouble. Last year he announced his candidacy for Attorney General in early March, making clear to Noem that he would not run for her job.

Kristi’s a little slow to reciprocate: while her team posts much more prolifically to social than Team Marty, Marty’s the only one with this dramatic announcement at the top of his campaign website. As of 5:30 Central this afternoon, Kristi’s Twitter and Facebook are still stuck bleating false economic slogans and exhorting the Canadian Prime Minister to pandemic recklessness.
