Former South Dakota Sen. George McGovern, who lost his own race for the White House to Richard Nixon in the biggest landslide in American history, predicted Tuesday night that fellow South Dakotan, Senate plurality leader Tom Daschle, will eventually run for president.

"My guess is that at some point he'll run," McGovern told WABC Radio's John Batchelor and Paul Alexander. "Whether he'll do it in 2004, though, I think, is another question."

If the Democrats retain their plurality in the Senate after this year's midterm election, Daschle will likely stay put, the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate said.

"He likes the job that he now has," added McGovern," so he'll have to decide that."

The best thing Gore has going for him is that the Democrat's base can read four-letter words.

I didn't even know McGovern was still alive.

LOL...His comments seem to prove he's at least brain dead.

LMAF I love it!

The VP nomination on a losing ticket oddly enough, confers front-runner status on that person the next time around. It would give Dasshole the name familiarity he would need to go up against Hitlery in '08.

And his campaign slogan would be what? "I'm the guy that lost the Senate, now I'm ready for the Presidency!"

[Paulus Invictus]

Run Dashole, run! I can't think of another RAT, except Hitlery, who would be a worse candidate. What a loser he is!

[Kermit]

I'll help Dashole seek the White House. Turn left on Pennsylvania Ave, go 2 miles to the 1600 block, it's the white mansion on the left with the wrought iron fence out front.

Just wanna help, cause that's the kind of guy I am.;^)

Gawd, bring him on! He might win both SD and Mass, which is better than Mac did against Nix. (LOL!!!)

[#3Fan]

Loser Gore and now loser Daschle? 40 years of a liberally biased press hasn't served to thin the Dem herd of it's weaklings. LOL Democratic vote fraud and media propaganda might make it close I guess. Not so LOL.

I didn't accuse him of being brilliant. But, he's said many times already that he doesn't want to be minority leader. I have 2 good friends, terribly misguided friends granted, who attended his leadership seminar, and they both have told me they think he won't run for re-election in 2004 to the Senate. Of course, I have to take anything political they say with a grain of salt because they know I have done some work in the Thune campaign, and am an ardent conservative.

Well ... at midterm, WE WILL make the decision for him and take away his power in the Senate - then in 2004 - because of a new law in SD, he will have to resign from the Senate to run for President (thanks to a new Repub Governor) - which means he will LOSE BOTH!! Finally, we will be rid of this idiot!!
