"On today's edition of Dakota Midday, host Paul Guggenheimer welcomed Denise Ross of the Hog House Blog to the program for the weekly regional political junkies segment. The discussion focused primarily on the South Dakota U.S. Senate race and whether incumbent Democrat Tim Johnson should debate his opponent, Republican Joel Dykstra which he has refused to do. Also, Paul interviewed Martine Ehrenclou, author of ""Critical Conditions,"" a book that looks at the highly publicized and alarming number of deaths caused by hospital errors."
