In these rare instances, the law of pedigree, whether direct or avuncular, gives way. --I. Taylor.

keep Daschle away from bribing the dang indians on 11/2 and you may get a win there!

I hear that Thune is ahead there. If everyone who votes for Bush votes for Thune it would be a landslide.

Last I heard, Dashcle had spent $9 mil. in itty bitty S.D. and didn't even go up a point. They also say the race is dead even.

Last time Thune ran, Daschle and Co. tried to dig up the vote and Thune lost by what? just over a hundred votes I think. If we can send Zell then those dyed in the wool democrats just might be able to justify their jump over the fence for Bush. I'll take it any way I can get it!

Anyway, Many posters hear say Daschle is toast. If he loses we sure are going to miss those pictures of him standing on a Crate (sarcasm).

I fell in a hole.
Bruised my knee bone.
Passed out from pain when my knee wouldn't hold me up quite a few times.
Hit my back on the cat's clawing tree.
Went to the hospital because of the back spasms (twice).
Can't remember how many docs I've seen.

Cyber and I remember both the cardiolgist and neurologist saying, "There's something wrong."
Two MRIs.
Tests up the ying-yang.
Told to stay in bed except when necessary.
Two months of hell.

DIAGNOSIS: Low blood pressure.

Need any prescription drugs? I'm flushing them.

After seeing the cardiologist yesterday, we got smashed. Thank you ever so much. That was our summer.

See Post 87.

Still getting over the tiredness from being in bed all those months. I got the okay to work out again, but it will take me about a week to get the leg and arm muscles working. Some atrophy has set in. Shouldn't be that hard, though. I get pi$$ed off pretty easily when things like this have happened.

Gotta get some housework done. Poor Cyber has been doing 90 percent of it for waaaaaay too long.

It's too early to do Sente race predicitons but back in 2002 I was perfect except for Colorado (Zogby tricked me) and I abstained from picking in SD as it would be too close to call which it was.

I could see Zell campaigning in SD he really does loathe Daschle.

Daschle is toast. Deeply saddened toast. Inhofe was saying he had spent $9 million dollars on his campaign to be re-elected , then said how can you even do that in South Dakota? Notice how he has completely disappeared from public view the past six months? The media smells blood in the water.

So Daschle is toast. Kerry is French toast. And Bob Byrd brings home the bacon. They sound like breakfast.

Written by "Ratree Cheepudomwit."

Let's just break that name down a bit. "Rat Tree Cheap You Dumb Wit." That's kind of like, "Would you like to buy the Booklyn Bridge," I think.
