[history]
As a bloc, South Dakota's Indians tend to heavily favor the Democrats. In 2002, they provided Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., with enough votes to let him eke out a narrow victory over Republican John Thune. Now that Giago, a newspaper publisher and Oglala Indian, has decided to run as an independent in the general election rather than challenge Daschle in the primary, as previously announced, could alter the landscape in an already nationally significant race.

Great news. Has anyone thought of recruiting poll watchers for SD?

As a bloc, South Dakota's Indians tend to heavily favor the Democrats. Oh my! Just as the three person election gave us eight years of Clinton/Gore we now stand to benefit from the entrance of a spoiler in SD. Hurray!!!
I pray that it is so! I pray that the corrupt politicians don't bribe this guy into pulling out. To see Tommy boy head home would be SO SWEET!!!
Thank you God!!!

Thune should have contested that! Dam that still pisses me off! That seat would have helped the balance in Congress so much that we would have had a much easier time of passing needed Judges and Legislature.

Any chance of getting the address of Indian activist Tim Giago's campaign headquarters? I would really really enjoy sending him a political contribution!
