Well, with Daschle as majority leader, you expect his party to get a boost in little South Dakota. Truth is, if SD had to vote again, Thune would win by double-digits. Now the whole state is irrelevant. If you notice, Thune got a boost by being an incumbent when he ran for the house. It seems that 248 is a to-be-expected number for a Republican in a Senate race in Shannon county.

FYI...speak of the devil...I mean Daschle...I posted this info yesterday on another thread...

We’re seeing this sad story emerging in South Dakota where Democratic Party operatives are actively registering Indians to vote in this year’s election. The Indian voter registration project is headed by Brian Drapeaux, a former aide to Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD). One of Drapeaux’s paid field workers was Becky Red Earth-Villeda, who was recently fired for submitting phony voter registration forms. This field worker was paid $12,000 in three months for her efforts.

As a result of Miss Red Earth-Villeda’s questionable registration work, the FBI and state Attorney General are investigating charges that she and other field workers have registered numerous dead or non-existent voters. An estimated one out of 10 new voter registration forms in Shannon County are currently being investigated. (The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation covers about half of Shannon County.)

True whilst Dashole as majority leader, however as for your conclusion,
I'll Digress.
248 for a (R) nobody maybe, but Thune had people vote for him before, and 60% of them thought he was no good anymore.
60 % Decrease for Thune,
while the county turnout was 2X????
