Evangelical support appears divided with Kemp and Dole also competing for votes.

Gephardt Targets South Dakota Ahead of Super Tuesday
Democratic candidate Richard Gephardt concentrates in South Dakota and Wyoming as part of an early bid to deny Michael Dukakis a sweep of states before Super Tuesday. He frames the effort as a fight for a "powerful voice" in 1988, while Sen. Paul Simon retreats to Minnesota and South Dakota.
