Had the honor of performing Shalllow at #SDWC’s Love Hurts cabaret last night with some of the most fabulous people on the planet. What an honor to sing a song we all love the night before it wins a well-deserved Grammy! Thank you @ladygaga from the bottom of our souls. “We’re far from the shallow now.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Btuf2J7BrHb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15glzuy7w4daf

Living my 20 ft from stardom dream by getting to sing in a back up choir for Demi Lovato today. Is this real life? #DemiLovato #SDWC #SDGMC #tellmeyoulovemetour (at Viejas Arena)

Had the honor of singing this haunting, reflective song with seven of my favorite voices at San Diego Women’s Chorus’ fall concert Elements. All we are is Dust in the Wind! #sdwc #dustinthewind

Nelson, Powers engage in Twitter battle

This morning, U.S. Senate candidate Stace Nelson and Republican blogger Pat Powers engaged in a vitriolic Twitter war that I found striking, after Nelson decided to advertise on the liberal blog Madville Times. Here's the exchange:

Outside group to make token pro-Rounds TV buy

Pat Powers at the South Dakota War College is reporting that the Government Integrity Fund, a Republican SuperPAC, will spend $1,689 on TV commercials supporting Mike Rounds' U.S. Senate candidacy.

Even in a cheap state like South Dakota, $1,689 isn't much money for TV ads. A single spot on KSFY-TV's 10 p.m. news — where Powers says one buy is being placed — cost $375 in November 2012. Other spots can be less than $100 a pop.

So this isn't someone blanketing the state. It's more of a statement, a pump-primer, and a minor boost for Rounds — for a good number of viewers, it will mean they see a pro-Rounds ad before they see one attacking him.

The bigger question: will this prompt responses from other groups or campaigns? Or will it be a simple one-off incident?

I'll post video of the ad once it runs.
