1 - Number of votes Daschle needed to become king of the Senate. Jeffords cast that "vote".
162,884 - Number of votes Daschle received in his last election.
ZERO - The number of votes Lautenberg received in the primaries.
Not a lot of people involved in making Daschle so powerful. And Daschle basically "elected" Lautenberg.
It all comes down to voters. That's the only constant. Lautenberg needs to be beat on the street. Same thing with Daschle.
