Daschle has said that other pressing matters such as economic recovery, national security in light of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and remaining government spending bills, leave no time to deal with energy this year.

What a little twerp!  They don't have time to pass an ENERGY BULL, but they have time to pass CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM???

      Daschle Eyes Vote This Year on Election Reform

                By Thomas Ferraro

                WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader
                Tom Daschle on Thursday voiced optimism that a bipartisan
                bill to revamp the nation's election system could be brought
                to the floor of his chamber for a vote before Congress
                adjourns.

               ``I'm very hopeful that we can still reach an agreement on
                election reform before the end of this year,'' Daschle said.

                If we reach an agreement, it would be my expectation, we'll bring
                it up'' before Congress adjourns for the year, he told reporters.
