Other than having nice hair and being a big improvement on Tom Thumb Daschle, what has John Thune actually accomplished?

I don't know a lot about Thune. His bio and record is pretty conservative. But he's a frequent guest on Greta, and he comes off as non confrontational and weak.

South Dakota’s 3 electoral votes could be critical if it comes down to the wire, and Ford only carried the state by 4400 votes in 1976 so it can’t be taken for granted. The Republican candidate actually lost the state as recently as 1936.

IOW, too much like the guy at the top of the ticket.
