NEW YORK (Talon News) -- An internal poll shows that Rep. John Thune (R-SD) has gained enough momentum to pass Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) in the most closely watched Senate race of 2004. The Republican numbers indicate that Thune is moving up in the polls and is at or near 50% while the incumbent remains stalled at 48%.

National Senatorial Committee Chairman Sen. George Allen (R-VA) announced the new numbers at a breakfast for South Dakota's delegates to the Republican National Convention on Tuesday. He told delegates that South Dakotans have the ability to "transform the United States Senate" by replacing Daschle with Thune.

I live in Idaho but I've donated to his campaign. All that can afford it should!

Actually, the face of HIllary day in and day out may be the best thing that could happen for the Republicans.

I also think we can pick on up in Florida with Mel Martinez.

The only downside to Lil'Tommy Boy Dashole losing is the Hillary will ascend to minority leader.

Until Rudy beats her in 2006.

God I hope that Martinez does pick up Florida
if that were to happen then we would not only retain but be able to expand our majority even with the IL loss

Maybe Daschle needs to run an add where he is arm-in-arm with Kerry saying, "I was with this guy before I was without him."

In November:

Bush will win with > 300 EV's
Daschle will be gone and the GOP gains a net of 2
House has net GOP gain of 6

IT WILL BE BETTER THAN THAT!

Yes, W takes over 300 EV's, but we pick up at least 3 in the senate (lose IL, gain GA, FL, LA, NC) Some other senate seats such as SD come into play. Plus, our chances of holding CO increase. The house gets at least 6 net just because of reapportionment in TX.

In the end, we could further solidfy the house, pick up 6 in the senate.

I'm from Louisiana, and agree that we have a fair chance at a Senate pickup here. (Breaux retiring, David Vitter winning the seat.) Vitter's a solid conservative, and an aggressive, very public figure.

We're also keeping fingers crossed for the demise of Tiny Tom! Watching Thune come SO close last time was heartbreaking...

the redistricting is a big plus but remember there are at least 3 GOP retirements out there and a few competitives so although i am almost positive we will retain majority but i dont know if or by how much we will increase it to
