Sen. Daschle: ‘I feel good walking out these doors’

Daschle: Meaning that I have really worked largely in my public life preventing what I consider to be ill-advised things from becoming law.

Daschle's critics have said that made him an obstructionist and, ironically, used it to help defeat him. But Daschle says he is proud that he stood up to the Republican White House.

Daschle says, “They call it obstructionism. But I call it the noise of democracy. The noise of democracy, in my view, is something that ought to be protected and celebrated.”

And remarkably, despite the White House-led battle to defeat him, Daschle bears no grudge against President Bush.

Gangel: Do you blame him for your loss?

Daschle: No, not at all.

But what does trouble Daschle are charges that the Democratic Party is “out of touch.”

Daschle: I think it's unfair, Jamie. One, I think that they did a better job of organizing. We were very, very good, but so were they. Two, I think it was a very nasty, vindictive, negative campaign that worked in their case. I think that's unfortunate. I [also] think that there's a concern about security in this country, and the people, all things considered, generally feel a little bit more comfortable with the incumbent than they do with the opposition.

I finally agree with Daschle on something - I feel good about him walking out those doors as well.

He sounds disingenuous when he speaks in that "soft voice"
