It is important not only to take out Johnson in 2002, but also Wellstone in MN and Harkin in IA this year. If we can accomplish that, little Tommy Daschle will be very nervous indeed heading into 2004.
It is my firm belief from talking to many people on the ground in all three of these states that the old psuedo-populist schtick of Daschle and Wellstone and Harkin has worn exceedingly thin.
But it's still up to us to beat them. I for one think we are very well positioned to do so with Thune, Coleman, and Salier in Iowa.

We can only hope and pray. To get these guys off the political landscape would be akin to having Bush instead of Algore as President--a breath of fresh air!
