One week after the first press conference on this, Daschle's people are refusing comment.

Please spread the word.

Is this Joshua Mercer connected to Bob Mercer, Jankow's press guy and former AP writer?

Not sure how the people of South Dakota could have missed the true voting record of their own Senator.

I've heard it said more than once that when he returned home he talked a different game than he voted in Washington. But how could he have gotten away with that for so many years, if they were paying attention? Obviously they were not? It just strikes me as an odd marriage, that's all.

Thune should make an ad showing Daschle stalling the beginning of the Iraq war while, as we now discover, Saddam was removing his weapons.

"Why rush to war...what's our hurry?!"...because, Tommy, it would be a good thing to secure Saddam's weapons before he hides them.

Unfortunately there a lot of RINO (Republican In Name Only) voters in South Dakota particularly in rural areas of the state that are voting based on how much money they think Daschle or Thune will bring to their particular interests. They are more interested in farm subsidies, rural water projects, highway funds, ethanol plants etc. than they are in pro-life issues.

Daschle has been pandering to these voters with ads touting his ability to get federal bucks and questioning whether Thune could do as well. I was particularly galled by an ad that plays up that South Dakota gets $2 back in every highway tax dollar we contribute! I can imagine the outrage if South Dakota voters were told they were ony getting $0.50 back for every dollar in tax they contributed while some other state gets $2. But if it's in South Dakota that's OK. It shows what is wrong with the system and how some folks in this state just don't get it.

Daschle will certainly sway some of these voters in what is likely to be a close election.

This just in to Fox News: "It is reported that this entire incident has Tom Daschle 'deeply saddened'."
