| Description | Whether or not 2010 turns out to be the "Year of the Woman" in politics, South Dakota is a state to watch. In what some have dubbed the "hottest" race of the year, two accomplished and charismatic female candidates under the age of 40 are competing for the state's lone seat in the House.
Since winning a special election in 2004, Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, 39, has easily won re-election to South Dakota's at-large congressional seat. But this year, she faces a tough challenge from state Rep. Kristi Noem, 38.
A July 9 Rasmussen poll, taken just after Noem won the GOP primary, showed her leading Herseth Sandlin by 49 percent to 44 percent, with 4 percent supporting a third candidate, and only 3 percent of voters undecided. National Journal calls the race "very winnable" for Republicans. |
