EV WROTE: "Well, nothing we can do electorally about Commie Tommy now for another five years, dangnamit."

I believe you are wrong, EV---It is just 1+ year.

As I recall (and I'm REALLY tired right now so I might not be thinking correctly), I don't think it was Dasshole who just got re-elected. I think he was just helping to get Tim Johnson elected so the RATS could hold control and HE could remain as Senate Majority Leader.

I am almost certain Dasshole comes up for re-election in 2004.

According to http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/?id=535&submit.x=15&submit.y=9, Dasshole was first elected to the Senate in 1986, so he would have been re-elected in 1992, 1998, and hopefully (NOT!) in 2004.

We were discussing Commie Tommy Harkin of Iowa. He was just reelected from Iowa last year.

You are correct, though. Tom Daschle is up next year--and we must make it one of our highest priorities to crush him. I just spent the last two years living in the great state of South Dakota, and I assure you, it is more than doable.
