RACE ANALYSIS

The Bottom Line

Updated: Oct 5, 2012

Without 2010 foe former Democratic Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin running, Noem should be cruising to a second term. Instead, scrappy Democrat Matt Varilek, a former aide to Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson, has impressed local observers by raising close to $500,000 for the race  and has gained some mileage for hitting Noem on missed Agriculture Committee hearings and the Tea Party's attitude towards the Farm Bill. Still, this is South Dakota and Noem, who has raised over $2 million this cycle, remains a strong favorite for reelection.
