10. Hey, prairierose!

Hubby (existentialist, former username Wicasa) and I are still here (remember, we all met at the DU meetup in Rapid City summer of '05, hubby and I first met there, too)! Very glad to see you still on here.

I know it seems dark right now for Dems in the state, but I truly believe we are starting to rebuild and are going to be on the upswing within a few years. I'm encouraged by Ben Nesselhuf's leadership and I think people are going to really start to get tired of the iron grip of the repubs here. They've been overplaying their hand due to their smug overconfidence and it's going to start pissing people off. And look at the bright side-state Dems really cannot be blamed for anything at this point, since there are hardly any in the legislature or in statewide office, lol!
