WASHINGTON -- The South Dakota race that will determine whether Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle stays on Capitol Hill is the costliest congressional election so far this year.
Daschle and Republican John Thune spent a total of $26.3 million through the first half of this month, a Federal Election Commission analysis released Thursday found. Of that, Daschle spent about $16 million and Thune $10 million.
In all, Senate and House candidates competing in Tuesday's election have spent at least $711.6 million this election cycle, up about 15 percent from 2002, the FEC said.

Kicking Daschle's obstructionist butt out of the Senate is worth the price.
Down with DASSHOLE
$26.3 million in two weeks in South Dakota? I didn't know all the commercial time combined for the whole state could be worth that much.
No, it was the total for the entire campaign up to the end of the first half of October.
"Daschle and Republican John Thune spent a total of $26.3 million through the first
half of this month"
......that's a lot of dough for such a sparsely populated state.....prabably $10 for every man, woman & child.....
Is the little man going down..or what?
Getting rid of Daschle is key to the future of America. I live in MA and I gave $40 already...paid for more than one person. Why don't you do it too?
Make this Country a better place for everyone............ Reject Daschle!!!
DUMP DASCHLE!!!!
I believe Daschle will lose. If you ask someone who they would be money on, 9 out of 10 would probably put money on Daschle because they don't think it is possible for him to get beaten. Even though many don't like him. But, I really think he is going to be history.
The latest Zogby poll shows Thune leading by a small margin. Same with the latest Laughlin & Associates poll. It looks promising.
Defeating Daschle will be even more satisfying than defeating Kerry.
