Tickets will not be required to attend.

"Just show up," said Thune campaign manager Dick Wadhams.

Dole is expected to give a speech, but her husband, 1996 presidential candidate and former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole, is not expected to attend, Wadhams said.

Automated calls to individual households announcing the visit were made Friday.

Dole gained national prominence in the 1980s as President Ronald Reagan's transportation secretary, the first woman to hold that cabinet post. Before her election to the Senate in 2002, she had served as the second woman since founder Clara Barton to serve as president of the American Red Cross.

Wadhams said Dole's visit will not mark the first of a string of final-week campaign stops by high-profile Republicans.

"We have nobody else right now. That could change next week," Wadhams said. "She made herself available on fairly short notice. But we don't expect anybody really, really, really high profile, if you know what I mean. They are busy doing other things."

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
