We will indeed have a number of contested primaries. I don't think that's a bad thing for the Republicans, to have some spirited contests.

The South Dakota Republican Party is not without means, and we do plan on supporting our candidate.

For those candidates, those challengers who choose to make the race about abortion only - on either side of that issue - I believe they will find they have trouble at the ballot. People will want to know what their positions are on other issues.
