I don't mean to be a naysayer, but after watching this debate, I think Thune should stop asking for so many of them. Daschle was his usual manipulative, smooth, used car salesman self; but Thune seemed at times like he'd never faced a tough question before and just fell right into Puff's little traps. I love Thune, and after Bush winning I would most like to see Daschle go; but if this debate is a sign of things to come.......just stick with T.V. ads, John, please. We don't want six more years of the Puffster!!

I'm not real familiar with Thune and I thought he did a good job.

And I've brought more pork to South Dakota than you can ever dream of, and without me there would be no highways, or social security or Mount Rushmore or Missouri River.

I had never seen Thune before. He is good looking and made Daschle seem old and pre 9-11. If Thune was a Democrat he would be the media's up and coming handsome politician. I wish he would beat Daschle. Thune should keep telling the story about Zell Miller's disappointment with Daschle after 9-11 and Daschle blocking everything. Daschle was one of the people that got Zell so angry.

Put me in the category of those that have not seen Thune before. I thought he was really impressive - well spoken, looks great, intelligent , etc. etc. Maybe it has something to do with not living in the state, but I , for one, was really impressed.

Thune did a great job. You apparently didn't see the show I saw

Daschle: "Blah blah blah. Blah...blah blah blah, blah. Blah blah.....blah blah blah, blah. Blah. Blah! Blah, blah, blah....blah!"



Fortunately, that's all I hear come out of Daschle's mouth whenever he talks.

There was a point in there when I thought Puff was going to cry, very unconvincingly by the way. I had to take a shower after listening to that pr*ck.

[Holden Magroin]

How many South Dakotans really watch Meet the Press? If Republicans write off Thune, I'll never vote Republican again!

[paul51]

I disagree with you. I think Thune easily held his own against both dasshole and russert. On the other hand, when dasshole started his disengenous, fained outraged/insult/hurt shtick about Thunes comments, it was obviously phony and laughable.
