Thune recall

Apparently, Dave Thune has become so scared of a possible recall effort that he is fundraising to fight it.

I am not in a position to evaluate the credibility of the fear, but do have to wonder how one could justify recalling the man.

David Thune did enough evil in his last term to justify recalling him then and to justify nobody ever voting for him again ever, but it seems that recall was intended as a way for voters to address things which have happened since the voters cast their most recent judgment.

Admittedly, he has not been the most conciliatory to those who were so anxious to have the GOP convention here that they could not realize that there would be public safety vs. free speech concerns, but that hardly seems grounds for recall.

Of course, there will always be reasons not to vote for the man. As Shakespeare’s Marc Antony reminded us, “The evil that man does lives . . .”
