Good point. He ran against then-Senator Jim Abnor in the Republican primary, publicly on the grounds that Abnor would surely lose to Daschle. Abnor won the primary by 55% to 45%, but lost to Daschle by a narrow 51.6% to 48.4%. Daschle was not seriously opposed in the 1990's.

Don't forget that Janklow also gave little help to then-Senator Larry Pressler in 1996. Pressler lost to Tim Johnson, 51-49. Janklow ran for the House in 2002 just to block Pressler's political comeback. Sometimes, I wonder if Janklow is subconsciously helping the Democrats.
