Daschle Attorney Kicked Out of Polling Place

Report from Standing Rock At the McLaughlin Community Center on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, a Daschle operative (a male lawyer in his 50s) has taken over part of the election table and is interfering with the election workers' duties in violation of SDCL 12-18-3, 9.1 (9.2 gives authority to have the person removed and arrested). The election worker feels intimidated by the Daschle operative and feels that the man is interfering with the process. When told this was illegal, he responded "F--k you, do something about it." These sorts of reports are coming in regularly. It's a nice summary of the Daschle campaign's attitude toward the election process.

If that's the case, Drudge is being EXTREMELY irresponsible.

Frog march him, baby, frog march him!

>>>>Drudge declaring Thune the winner in SD Hold on a minute. Drudge is doing no such thing. He's reporting really early exit poll numbers. Sheesh. "Senate winners: Thune SD" That says win! Not exit polling ...

[Brilliant]

They kicked him out? How dare they disenfranchise this poor man!

[RetiredArmy]

Now, this would be a monster upset. Like getting old Tom Foley back a few years ago!!! First Speaker of the House, now their Senate leader. Sweet.

[Petruchio]

I hope they kicked him in the process.

Is that what they call 'em now? We always called 'em nuts or balls . . .

[aft_lizard]

No he is saying WINNERS not exit polls, read it again.

[WarEagle]

Note this earlier post about the Daschle lawyer on Standing Rock who was disrupting the voting process and told others who raised questions "F--k you, do something about it." They did. He now has been forcibly removed from the polling place by the deputy sheriff. NOTE TO THE PRESS: ARE YOU CAPABLE OF REPORTING ANY OF THIS AND LEAVING YOUR COMFY NEWSROOMS? These reports are coming in from all over the state. What does the dean of political reporters at the Argus Leader say about all this? 'Nothing's happening.' If they really want to be taken seriously, they should report these things.

It's still based on exit polling - not reality.

[monkeyshine]

Send him back home, out of DC, and tell him to put his egg crate inside his soap box before he leaves.

[mrplind]

Of course it is, my point is that Drudge is saying Thune is a winner, I dont condone it, but it says what it says

[Quilla]

...in the process? Is that what y'all are calling 'em now.

(Ms. Kaiser Sose): "Listen, Short one, direct your lawyers, servants and agents to continue the obstruction and violence.
Remember our power. Sandy Berger walks free.
We have four thousand stolen FBI files
-- I mean 'badges of honor' -- to manipulate vote-counters and judges.
Now bring out our dead to vote, or I have just three words for you."

[GnuHere]

Schadenfruede alert, baby!
This is all too, too sweet.

[mabelkitty]

This is what they did with Johnson in 2000.
FBI will be all over this tomorrow.

No surprises here...little Tommy is feeling the heat!

Even if he can reanimate enough dead Indians to steal the election, Daschle's reign is finished. He'll be such damaged goods that he can't possibly keep his Minority Leader status. At the worst for us, he'll be a noisy back bencher, taken seriously by no one.

If you've ever had kids, you'd rather them headbutt in you in the process than in the nuts.

[Chad Fairbanks]

From what the radio said, deputies escorted him out ;0)

[rushmom]

Trying to make conservatives happy after ticking them off with his irresponsible exit poll date. But I hope it's true.
