I would feel better if some of the local press would expose the Daschle/Airline gravy train that he has been riding for years now! http://daschlevthune.typepad.com/daschle_v_thune/2004/10/argus_on_mrs_da.html Read the story - follow the links!
The Democrats know this too that is why the flash polls taken after the debates were so slanted but that didn't stop Chrissy Matthews from breaking out the parth balloons. After the third debate he looked a little sheepish as he used the flash polls for the last time, he knew Bush won and so did everyone sitting on his panel. Finally I thought Bush won every debate on substance and that is what really matters because that's what will stick with voters long after the debates are over.
