SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - ... Nearly 3,700 Republicans from all 66 South Dakota counties - including former state lawmakers, business and civic leaders and others - publicly support his re-election bid, Daschle told reporters at a news conference. ...[snip]Among about 20 Republicans who joined Daschle at the news conference were former Tea mayor Earl Jacobsen and former state lawmakers Kay Jorgensen of Spearfish and Don Frankenfeld of Rapid City. The three are co-leaders of a group called Republicans for Daschle Committee.

Dick Wadhams, Thune's campaign manager, said ... "These are very, very liberal Republicans who are pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage," ...

I thought South Dakota was too far north and too cold and too cold a climate for Rinos.

Daschle says 3,700 South Dakota Republicans on his side

And he's got the death certificates to prove it.

[mhking]

Daschle is full of used food.

[RockinRight]

Meanwhile, Thune has 7,500 Democrats on his side...

Girlie-Men for Tiny Tommy Daschle

"Daschle says 3,700 South Dakota Republicans on his side."

I just hope that that is all he has, then he will loose in a landslide in South Dakota.

[Paleo Conservative]

They're probably hairy RINOS.

[Digger]

NO, it's 3,430. Maybe 3,481, Nah it's 68,000. Yea, that's it.

[California Patriot]

The names of these people should be made known to
every Republican activist in the state. They should
be blacklisted from Republican events and offices
for the rest of their lives.

If only he can dig 'em up:

[Uncle Miltie]

That is clearly not enough to win SoDak. It is a Republican state with a Dem Senator. He needs lots more to win.

[FateAmenableToChange]

I'm confused. I thought S.D. was leaning for Thune something like 55% to 45%. But 3700 people - well, isn't that already around 85% of the entire population of S.D.?

[dodger]

Would LOVE to see Zell visit & campaign for John Thune. Zell has the dirt on d'Asshole and plainly loathes the boy. Zell could really open some eyes in South Dakota.

I wonder how many are among the living.

Where did you get those numbers from? Thune has been consistently trailing in the polls (though not by much).

[Arkie2]

This is an obvious lie. There's only 3,500 people in the whole darn state!

[GAGOPSWEEPTOVICTORY]

How many of those 200 living "Republicans" are Injuns?

"Thune has been consistently trailing in the polls (though not by much)."

---

Thune has been trailing slightly in independent polls (although none have been released recently), but a very recent GOP poll had Thune at 50% and Daschle at 48%. Until independent polls confirm that, we have to assume that Daschle is up by a bit, but the race is very much winnable for Thune. I will send John Thune a contribution next week, and hope that every FReeper who can joins me in supporting the man who can get rid of Tom Daschle once and for all.
