I just checked

http://www.sdvote.org/election/special.xml

and it appears she is way out in front, with a 43% portion of the vote.

2. Correct
And I think she has a pretty decent shot at it.

In one of the most repuke districts in the country no less, you can smell the stink of republicanism from the highway there.

4. She has to do better
She will be in a run off with Bilbray, King and Griffith. The Reps got about 54% of the vote and the Ind only got about 1.5%
We NEED this seat but I am just not sure...

5. When is the runoff vote? Can't you still count on the Pub vote
being split between the other three?

6. Early June I think
And IIRC the runoff will only be between the top vote getter in each party, ie a two person race.
