well, I was "bumming" when I heard that he was not going to go after the open House seat..... But! This is great!

Actually, the SD GOP was warned about potential fraud on Indian reservations a month before the 2002 general lection. The party did not authorize proper ballot security operations. The leaders were afraid of false charges from the media of "racism" in regard to "Native Americans." Therefore, Tim Johnson remains in the Senate. Daschle will be the prohibitive favorite: people in SD really think he "makes a difference," a popular liberal code word these days.
