A friend of mine works at the NRSC and word is that Thune's last internals had him down 7, which would explain his nuclear assault with negative ads and literature.

Interesting, looks like they're not beyond dirty tricks, either. "Someone" has been leafletting church parking lots here in SD on Sundays with flyers that say Keep Abortion Legal - Vote Tim Johnson...or words to that effect. Can't fathom the Johnson folks would be that stupid with that issue in this state. Hope no one gets caught. That would suck.

Does anyone know anything about Johnson's campaign staff? I know that Steve Hildebrandt who ran the Iowa caucuses for Gore is the campaign manager, but you hear a lot of talk about how good the staff is from some of the national stories. I don't know them, though.

Instead of reading Jeff In South Dakota (JeffinSD), It should read Gay Liberal Jeff in South Dakota (GayJeffinSD) who works in the Tim Johnson Campaign.
