Dear onyx,
"Thune is marvelous.
"He's presidential timber after a little more seasoning."
Then after a term in the Senate, he must run for governor.

He'll get lost in SD as governor.
He can break thru from the senate.
I think he's THAT GOOD.
What's not been stated is perhaps the ultimate irony..Daschle mobilized the SD Dem machine to gin up the votes from the Indian reservations to somehow defeat Thune in 2002. Thune was the only SD Republican who could have defeated Daschle..So, if Daschle hadn't cooked the 202 election, he'd still have his seat in the Sdenate..Payback's a bitch, eh..
And Thune doesn't need a Box to stand on.
