One Man, One Vote Tom Daschle Isn't Up for Reelection, but He Could Still Lose Big Tomorrow

By Mark Leibovich Washington Post Staff Writer

IOWA CITY

Tom Daschle makes a small entrance. He arrives commotion-free, a few minutes early for a campaign rally for Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) at the University of Iowa's Memorial Union. As he waits for Harkin, Daschle doesn't so much work the room as mill through it, gently, shaking hands and telling everyone how "terrific it is to be in Iowa" in a deep voice that's barely audible.

Look how the liberal journalist tries to portray Daschle's Republican opponents as extreme. What a Clymer.

"and telling everyone how "terrific it is to be in Iowa" in a deep voice that's barely audible."

Yeah, a "deep" voice, kind of like Truman Capote's basso profundo.

I find it very interesting that Daschle is at a campaign rally for Harkin who has a big lead, rather than in his home state of SD where there's a neck'n'neck race. He's not in MO campaigning for the widow Carnahan. He's not in GA mining votes for Max.

Either the race in SD is in the bag for Thune, or Daschle knows where the votes are (think Indian Reservation).

This article is hilarious!!! The nancyboy who wrote this article clearly has a crush on little Tommy:

deep voice . . . has a knack for looking well rested . . . sharp and lively blue eyes and a morning-fresh pompadour of excellent brown hair. [!?!?!] . . . his lean runner's body

Is this an article or a homo love letter from Mark Leibovich?

Daschle's face is frozen in a slight and joyless grin as he turns in search of a friendlier audience. This turns out to be Harkin, who has just barreled in to loud applause. "Hey, leader," Harkin yells, and he envelops Daschle in a bear hug as Daschle buries his head in Harkin's torso.

I am wondering why Dashole needs to look for a friendlier audience .. Wasn't this a Harkin Rally full of Rats??

BTW what is the lead Harnkin has??

Slightly off topic, but,

In the world's largest Democracy (India) a voter dips the tip of their index finger in red dye after they vote.

No retina scan, no finger print check, no photo ID.

Anyone showing up at the polls with a red finger tip can't vote again. It's a very simple, low tech, cheap, nonintrusive way of insuring one person one vote...

The scary thing with Democrats is that some of these people will be voting in this election for Demos. Heck, they put JFK into the White House back in '60.

Harkin between 50-60%; Ganske about 40%.

He's looking for a friendlier audience because he isn't WANTED in those close races. FL's McBride didn't invite Clinton until he was waaaay behind. I don't believe Hillary's been to FL, or SD. She was in MN as part of a group giving her cover.
