Daschle is deathly afraid of publicly asked questions about his record. By the way, the local Gannett hasn't touched this. Is it germane? Daschle controls SD media.

Can someone post the whole article please?
I smell blood in the air though. Dashle's got a VERY good chance of going the way of George McGovern.

Send this interesting news to Hugh Hewitt (hugh@hughhewitt.com). He's frequently talked to Thune on his Salem Radio program.

His stature prohibits him from having to duck.

Dachle is afraid because there is a chance Thune could beat him. I'd give anything to have Dashole lose in November...

I think Thune has a great shot. How would the left spin Daschle's loss?
I'm paying attention to the Kansas congressional primary....GO KOBACH!!!! Taff is playing dirty tricks, he's been calling everyone and telling them that Kobach is "not endorsed by President Bush".

I couldn't seem to find the list of sources requiring excerpting, so I played it safe.

LOL!! That is funny.
I still say that Thune should schedule the debates in every county in SD and set a chair there for Tiny Tom. An empty chair says volumes to the voters.

The other day I was driving along SD Highway 37 just south of 212 and saw a sign for Larry Dietrich by a cemetery. I thought "That's odd, dead people vote Democratic."
Too bad I'm a resident of North Dakota now, I wanted to vote for Thune this year so badly...
To: SoDak
Can someone please detail the changes that have been made
since 2000 to guarantee an honest vote-count this time?
Are any or all precincts now electronic with paper trail?
Have those extremely-slow-to-report counties, that drastically
swung the election at the last second, been changed so they
now have no excuse for slow reporting?
To: no dems
I still say that Thune should schedule the debates in every county in SD and set a chair there for Tiny Tom.With a booster seat I would think.
