"...In South Dakota, Sen. Tom Daschle (D) will or will not be in a tight race – depending on whether former Rep. John Thune (R) challenges him. Thune wants to take on Daschle (and does NOT want to run again for the House), but after his narrow Senate loss in 2002, the former Congressman is delaying a final decision..."

I'm still annoyed that Thune refused to protest the stolen election. It was absolutely flagrant. But if he can beat Daschle, he will undo some of the damage he did by his misplaced highmindedness.

Thune can count on my financial support if he runs, and I will contribute substantially. Gotta offset the tried-and-true Dimo "dead vote". I can't stand Dachle. If he dropped dead in front of me I would urinate on him before I moved on.

This is terriffic news. In some ways, Tom Daschle is an easier target than Tim Johnson was. Sen. Johnson is a mild-mannered tax lawyer who concentrated on local issues and occasionally broke party ranks. Tom Daschle is a smug, aggressive partisain who has tried to thwart President Bush at every turn, and now he needs the support of voters who will be supporting Bush. Conservatives should be promising John Thune total support, and Bill Frist should promise Thune any committee assignments he wants.

The bad news is that the GOP may well lose a seat in Pennsylvania. Admittedly Arlen S. is not much better than whatever Demo runs against him [and probably wins], but his loss will weaken the Republican hold on the Senate.
