Is there a correlation in South Dakota between the number of names in the cemetary and the number of votes being counted?

Mrs. Tiny Tommy is probably yelling and throwing ashtrays at this point. Her job, or at least her level of income, would be seriously threatened by a Thune victory.

I just noticed something about that photo. I don't see a wedding ring on Daschle's hand. The lighting on his suit also seems to be different than on the other senators'. Is this a photo off the wire services or is this a doctored photo? It is pretty funny regardless, but perhaps I shouldn't be showing it to people and portraying it as real unless I'm sure.

This is tremendous news out of Rasmussen. Sounds like Tommy boy needs to pour another $10 million in lying ads into SD.

Bush has GOT to get to SD to campaign for himself (not explicitly for Thune -- a little distance is a good thing), to mobilize the Republican base and get turnout up. That would put the nail in the coffin...

But then I would imagine that the Thune and Bush campaigns have this all figured out...

Super majority would be nice, but even a more solid majority allows the Republicans to pressure them publically about not allowing up and down votes. Just more public opinion political leverage.

I really don't think Oklahoma is in play. Coburn should win handily. From what I've read, I don't think Georgia is going to be a problem, either.

Talent's first election as congressman was close. Jim does a great job of building coalitions. He will win no matter how many Carnahan's the Dems run against him. Bet on it.

This photo has made the rounds before. It was doctored.

No, the one who can help in SD is Bob Kerrey, with the "extra e," who won SD in the early 1992 primary. SD twice refused to support the popular Bill Clinton. I wonder if Daschle will think of popular new social programs to propose in October to hold the SD voters in line one more time.

In 1972, Richard Nixon refused to allow any Republican Senate candidate to appear with him unless that nominee had a 60 percent chance of victory. Nixon would not even appear in TX with John Tower, who went on to score well in the 1972 reelection campaign. Nixon's goal was to win as many states as possible and ignore the congressional angle. It worked, but it was faulty strategy.

For some reason, I feel better about Coburn winning among the names on this list than I do the others. I don't care for Isakson but presume that he will swamp the Democrat Majette.

Probably Chris Dodd.

Landrieu is a disgrace to the state of Louisiana. To quote an article in Time magazine many years ago: Mary Landrieu is a good old boy in a dress.

The popular Mary Landrieu is gaining in popularity in Democrat LA. Last year voters handily approved her younger brother, Mitch, as the new lieutenant governor under Kathleen Blanco.

He should NEVER be that confident. I'd spend that time in Florida. Thune will win by himself anyway, and besides, I don't think a visit would actually matter.

Breaux wants to MAKE MONEY and will be a high-powered lobbysist, like his beloved former colleague J. Bennett Johnston, Jr., D-LA. There was a report that Breaux will even team up with Don Nickles, R-OK, to set up a bipartisan lobbying company.

Do you think SD reelects Daschle because he cut his political teeth under that other "prairie socialist," George Stanley McGovern, D-SD?
