NEW YORK (Talon News) -- An internal poll shows that Rep. John Thune (R-SD) has gained enough momentum to pass Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) in the most closely watched Senate race of 2004. The Republican numbers indicate that Thune is moving up in the polls and is at or near 50% while the incumbent remains stalled at 48%.

National Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. George Allen (R-VA) announced the new numbers at a breakfast for South Dakota's delegates to the Republican National Convention on Tuesday. He told delegates that South Dakotans have the ability to "transform the United States Senate" by replacing Daschle with Thune.

DANG, that's good news! That'd be a sweet win.

I saw his commercial, with his daughters. Absolutely top-notch; very funny, sweet.

God let Thune Win!
not only would it help our chances of keeping the Senate but not having to look at Dasshole anymore puts even more icing on the cake

"That's OUTRAGEOUS!"

Tommy Dachshund is sad, very sad.

Is Pelosi Lugosi up for re-election this year?

What a great message if we could dump the CommiecRAT leaders.

I agree! Couldn't manipulate the Indian vote this time. Hehehe.

Of course, tiny tom is deeply saddened.

The only downside to Lil'Tommy Boy Dashole losing is the Hillary will ascend to minority leader.

Let Hillary ascend. With the dynamic duo of Pelosi and Hillary in the leadership positions, the Dims won't be able to attract 10% of the male vote in 2006.

Hope this is true. However, Thune may again be saying on November 2, "Where the hell did all those indians come from? ala George Custer.

I guess Dasshole's comercial where he is hugging Bush and saying I'm strong on defending the US just aren't working.

Pity.

Go Thune!

When asked yesterday on Fox & Friends, Sen Inhofe said flat out "Aw, Daschle is toast." Very matter of fact, it was priceless. Brought surprised snorts/laughs from Steve, ED & Brian.
