A South Dakota US Senate Candidate Is Making Music Videos, And They're A Must-Watch

[IDemo]

Rick Weiland is trying to sing his way to the Senate.

As national Democrats finalize plans to pour $1 million into South Dakota to help Weiland, the Democrat is flooding television airwaves with country song parodies.

Since April, his campaign has aired three music videos in the state that put an election-year spin on songs like Johnny Cash’s “I’ve Been Everywhere” and Roger Miller’s “King of the Road.”

In one parody, “Big Wheel,” inspired by Old Crow Medicine Show’s rendition of “Wagon Wheel,” Weiland sings, “So I’m running for the Senate but I’m not a big wheel, don’t have an RV, just my automobile / Hey, no one’s bought me.”

5. A couple months ago, I happened to be staying at the same hotel that Mike Rounds was in.

Of course he stayed in the best room in the hotel. $425.00 a night.

10. Is that guy with the video camera for real?

Or is it part of the fun of the video? If it's real, that's creepy as hell. Reminds me of Scientology...
