Who Is Kristi Noem?
She's a hunter, rancher, mother of three, and a staunch conservative. She's articulate, attractive, ahead in the polls, and she's raised more money than any other challenger in a House race.
South Dakotan Tea Party starlet Kristi Noem has been compared to Sarah Palin by many, but when asked what she makes of the comparison, Noem responded:
I'm my own person -- I'm Kristi Noem. Sarah Palin is a public servant who stepped forward...to run for office before, and you've got to admire people who are willing to take on that kind of a role. I've had a lot of people try to label me and I think that going forward, as long as we recognize that I've got my own platform, my own beliefs -- they represent the values of South Dakota, and I think that's important.
And asked whether she would welcome Sarah Palin in South Dakota to campaign for her, Noem replied:
Probably not. We're going forward making sure we're focused on the people here at home. I want them to know who I am and what I believe we should be doing and should be accomplishing rather than focusing on somebody else from out of state.
Kristi Noem is certainly one to keep your eye on. And I've got to admit, I'm excited about her.

And she speaks without that annoying, sing-song, punch-it-up delivery of, um, um....well, you know.

Very impressive. Anyone else notice that (gasp!) she doesn't have a college degree? Can't wait to see what the elites make of that.

Re: Who Is Kristi Noem?
Yeah, but she birth a calf and break a horse - two skills that, the way things are headed - are gonna be in way more demand than a degree in Lesbian Feminist Deconstructionist Theory.

Heard her interviewed on Hannity today. Impressive.

The emergence of "momma bears" is a very good sign, and the 'progressives' must be apoplectic at this trend. These are the authentic feminists with human qualities and genuine skills; not the icy, brittle, irritable, Hillary-esque malcontents of the left.
We'll know Kristi Noem is the real deal when the Statists go after her hammer and tongs.

The elitists will be aghast. The actual elites know better and won't care. They'll recognize the fine qualities in her and be impressed.
