In South Dakota's at-large congressional district, state Rep. Kristi Noem (R) won the GOP nomination to take on Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D).
Noem took 42% of the vote, while Secretary of State Chris Nelson (R) picked up 25% and state Rep. Blake Curd (R) trailed with 23%.
Nelson was the pseudo-establishment candidate in the race with the highest name recognition. But as I mentioned yesterday, he ran a lackluster campaign and a weak fundraising operation. Noem most likely benefited from going up on the airwaves early with a series of bio ads.
