Thanks. BTW, since you responded to my LOTR question, I used to have a boyfriend who lived in S.D. for several years (Ellsworth A.F.B.) but since we broke up we don't talk anymore. So I've been wanting to ask someone from S.D. about the prospect of Dashole. Is he a lock for reelection there, no matter what he does? And if so, why!?!?

I been wonderin' that myself. Unfortunately, I don't know anybody in S.D either.

I been busy trying to figure out how to neuter John McCain here in Arizona.

No, he's not a lock. The truth is, he got to his current position like a glacier, really slowly. He started out getting elected to Congress in the 70's as a socially conservative dem. S. Dakotans are too nice. They've allowed him to stay in office even though he has steadily drifted left in order to gain power in the Senate. Years ago, George McGovern did the same thing. People thought he was untouchable, and then he was upset and sent packing. It snuck up on him, like I think we're sneaking up on Tommie (the commie) in 2004. Many at FR, especially those unfamiliar with the state, will tell you otherwise, but that is how he got where he is.
