Daschle sets timeline on bid for president
Rapid City Journal ^ | 14 Mar 06 | Kevin Woster

Former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle says he will make a decision whether to run for the Democratic nomination for president within six months.

And right now, he’s not much interested in anything less than the top spot on his party’s ticket.

“My time frame is five or six months,” Daschle said in an e-mail response to questions by the Journal that arrived Sunday evening. “And, no, I’m not interested in vice president or the cabinet.”

Daschle, a former minority and majority leader in the U.S. Senate, has solid national fund-raising connections and strong ties with Democratic officials. But Daschle said his greatest motivation has been the amount of encouragement he gets to make a run for the White House.

Daschle sets timeline on bid for president
He's obviously on some controlled substance, a hallucinogen--LSD, maybe.

This little weenie is dreaming if he thinks he's got a chance in hell of being elected POTUS.

I hope he jumps in with both feet and uses up as much liberal campaign money as possible.

Don't you know that the Democrat Party is on pins and needles about this? (He wouldn't even be able to carry his home state--considering they didn't support his re-election to the senate.) This is a knee-slapper.

Daschle has to have the world's biggest little man complex. Such a pathetic little man.

Does he meet the Constitutional Height Requirements to be the POTUS?

Me too. I laughed and then shook my head in dis-belief that Tommy Weasle Daschle will be "deeply saddened" when he loses. Dem moonbats are delusional.

“My time frame is five or six months,” Daschle said"


No need to hurry Ex-Senator Daschle.

I imagine about 50,000,000 voters think five or six hundred years isn't long enough.

He's done, and should simply fade away.

Why does this guy need six months to realize he's a loser. I can tell him right now and save him the time.
