Conceding even before the polls open? That ain't good... Look for a lot of RAT gloating this week.

Well, if she gets elected, let's hope that she has to vote on something controversial between now and November. We can really thank Janklow for this mess.
But SD has really got to get on the ball. Daschle and Johnson are disgraces.

Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a LOSER.
South Dakota to join North Dakota with an all DEMPRAT congressional representation in DC.

Absolutely. Because even if a small margin loss is his best case scenario, this is a sure way to INCREASE his margin of loss because reports of this story will discourage Republicans from going to the polls. What a dummy...
To: KQQL
Nope, I think what he is saying is that the special election is basically the preseason or exhibition election. It does only give the winner 7 months in office.
If they were going to split the elections, which one would you rather the GOP win?

It's not what he's saying, it's when. His theory may be sound, but publicizing in an interview published before the election is really a strategic blunder. I bet Herseth's victory margin increases 3-5 points thanks to this early concession.

Well, that depends on how many SD papers and TV stations pick the story up for tomorrow morning, doesn't it? I bet I know what Herseth's folks are faxing to the newsdesks tonight...

What an unsmooth move.. If this gets around the Pubbies will just stay home and give Herseth a big landslide victory. Heck, some of them might even switch from Diedrich to Herseth since there's always some number of (clueless!) voters who just vote for who they think looks like a winner..

To speak to your actual point though, The Hill might not permit republishing but Diedrich's actual comments are now part of the public domain. I would be extremely surprised if South Dakota news sources don't discuss them in covering the election.
