Former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate, George McGovern, says he has encouraged Tom Daschle to run for president in 2008.
McGovern lost to Republican Richard Nixon in the 1972 election. Eight years later he lost his bid for re-election to the Senate.
McGovern expects up to a dozen people to run for the Democratic nomination for president, and he says Daschle has as good a chance as anyone.
Daschle expects to make a decision by year's end on whether he'll run.
I've always thought the MSM decided to portray Republicans in red to help Democrats erase the "red communist" association.
How many losers are required to run for Democrats to lose an election?
are you allowed to use campaign funds to pay for the guy who carries the step-stool ?
No question about it. .....it started in election 2000, I believe.
I wonder who Bob Dole is going to endorse on the Repub side?
Olympia Snowe, perhaps?
And now the Republicans are the RED-Blooded American patrioits and the Dems are the BLUE-Blood, Blue (as in past tense of blow), Blue (as in I'm so Blue) elitist party of effiminate, metrosexuals who stand for nothing.
Well if the Democrats are looking for a more feminine candidate than Hillary, they have found their man.
Another Bolshecrat bum of the month club savior.
The Democrats should listen to McGovern more often. His insights are a national treasure (for Repubs).
As alive as a comatose liberal Democrat can be...yes.
He's well into his 80s though.
I beg to differ. President Nixon made mistakes, was human after all, but in essence was one of the finest Presidents to ever grace our country. I am sorry you have such a warped sense of truth, history, and perhaps honor. Wow! read a book (not an Oliver Stone movie or a Walter Cronkite CBS special/lie!)
I believe you may have Tiny Tommy confused with this little girl.
Can't...type. Laughing...too hard.
Better yet, why doesn't McGovern run for President and the Dasch-hole can be his VP nominee??
Now THAT would be a winning combination capable of breathing new life into the Demagogic Party!!
Maybe this Bob Shrum dude who works with every losing candidate in modern history can be their big brain behind the scenes, plotting brilliant electoral strategies for victory.
this idea actually makes since from a moonbat perspective...
the bigger a loser you are... the bigger a hero you are in the democratic party.
That remains my opinion.

I vote for one of the worst.

I am sorry that you do, fair enough? We disagree, oh well.

I have read more books by various authors in my life than you have even thought of, none of them by the two authors you mentioned. So shove your insults where the sun don't shine.
Out here in South Dakota we have seen so little of Tommy Daschle that he is about ready to get his own Amber Alert. Unfortunately, George McGovern is an all too frequent visitor but we have managed to just ignore him until he goes away.
They did. Earlier they labeled the Nazi's as right wing even though they were socialists and more closely alligned with the democRATS.
