No shocker here. I think the people of S.D. have finally figured Dasshole out. With the help of Thune of course.

GWB being re-elected is the cake and Thune winning Daschle's Senate seat would be the icing. Oh how I love this. Parley

Yeah, I don't see why this qualifies as a "shocker." Still too close for comfort, but encouraging.

That's because they want all you workers to show up the rest of the week and still work not sit around talking about how Daschle's toast.

What no more Daschle sporting a pink tie while he whines on the Senate Floor. What will Nancy Pelosi do without the Dumb in Dumb and Dumber?

Yipeeeeeeeeee! Contribute to Thune's ads if you CAN - even $10 could help.

WARNING! For anyone in South Dakota has any pull at all - Do not report in conservative precincts until the reservations have their tallys in so they can't "find" enough votes for victory like last time.
