Jon Lauck had a South Dakota blog, writing on South Dakota politics–the Thune and Daschle campaigns specifically–during the election. He wrote a few pieces for NRO on the Thune-Daschle race. He also received consultant fees from the Thune campaign, something NRO was not aware of when accepting and commissioning articles from him (I just learned it myself in the last few days).

Lauck addressed the issue on his site in December.

He says that because it had been reported in South Dakota media that he was a Thune consultant as soon as he became one, he never thought to stamp his site with a disclosure–and never thought to call it out to me when discussing potential pieces.

I apologize to readers: Had I known he had gotten any Thune money (I probably should have asked; I will now), the pieces would not have run on NRO.
