Former South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle is weighing the possibility of running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
"I have received a lot of encouragement," Daschle said in an email today to the Argus Leader.
Daschle didn't rule out the possibility of an official announcement in the near future. But for now, he said, he has no plans to run for national office.
In his email, Daschle said the primary factors in his decision "would be my family and our mutual decision to consider the rigors of a campaign and reentry into public life."
Daschle made similar comments over the weekend to another publication. In a Saturday story in the National Journal, Daschle said he was "taking a look at" entering the race.
Analysts see the 2008 race beginning to take shape, with candidates and possible candidates from both parties hinting more openly about their plans.
Larry Sabato, a political expert at the University of Virginia, said Daschle was not in his latest rankings of likely Democratic candidates because he wasn't convinced Daschle would run.
"I wouldn’t call him the favorite, or even second or third. But it’s early," Sabato said.
LOL!
Run, Tom, Run! See Tom Run
"I have received a lot of encouragement," Daschle said.
Oh, I'll bet he did. All from conservatives. LOL
And...
Deeply Saddening!
He considers it, then realizes.....he doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell.
LOL. Me too, Tom!
Oh please, please, please let this be true.
I encourage him to run as well! Go Tom, Go! He may be deeply saddened later though.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Gosh, so we now have Hillary, Algore, and Tommy D., and Kerry. I think the thing i find is that not a single moderate amongst them. You can't make this stuff up!
Losing the Senate race wasn't big enough for Tom. Now he wants to lose the Presidency. Truly a man of vision.
There is only one thing that controls whether these egomaniacs run... only one kind of encouragement that matters: $$$$$
One can only hope.
I felt the same way; this has been a terrible day...and I'm amused by this "news". I bet he couldn't even carry South Dakota.
LOL!! From who??
"Go ahead,Tom: Run!
You're certainly as good a candidate as anyone your party has!"
LOL!
I wonder if he will be deeply saddened when he does not do that well in his endeavor.
