Daschle Considering '08 Presidential Bid
By JOE KAFKA, Associated Press Writer 25 minutes ago
Former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle, accusing the GOP of spreading a message of fear, says he is considering a 2008 presidential bid.
"I haven't ruled anything out or anything in at this point," Daschle said in an interview Saturday night after a hometown dinner in his honor.
"I'm encouraged by the strong support many people have voiced for my candidacy around the country and in South Dakota. I'll make a decision at some point later on this year," he said.
Daschle said President Bush and Republicans have overemphasized the importance of the war on terror, and he said the U.S. is no safer now than it was before the Iraq invasion.
"This country is not more secure when a president infers that he is above the law and can wiretap and eavesdrop on average citizens," he said. "We're not more secure when we turn ports over to foreign countries."

Former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle, accusing the GOP of spreading a message of fear, says he is considering a 2008 presidential bid. If this guy is the Dem choice and the GOP comes up with the standard dumb puppet, I might write-in Mickey Mouse.

Yes, we can be that fortunate. AlGore, Kerry, Daschle, Hill, Sharpton, Edwards, Biden, Feingold, Dean..who'd I leave out? The line forms on the left.

Gee I guess the beast could run in 08 even if she loses her junior senate seat this year (unlikely but you never know).
