"On today's edition of Dakota Midday, host Paul Guggenheimer welcomed the regional political junkies, Dave Kranz of the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader and Denise Ross of the Hog House blog back to the program. They discussed Dave's column about Sarah Palin and took calls from South Dakotans about what they think of her. They also talked about Denise's documentary called ""Unplanned Democracy"" about the abortion issue airing tonight on SDPB-TV. Paul then welcomed Shane Nordyke, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Dakota to the program. She teaches a course on the presidency and looked at how President Elect Barack Obama will transition to the White House."
