Au contraire:
Just 29 years old and almost totally unknown, Tom Daschle tendered his resignation and went off the government payroll for the first time since college to seek Mr. Pressler's empty seat. He fervently hoped that his days in the private sector would be numbered.
He spent over a year campaigning...paid for by the "little people" in the private sector (mostly Unions and Dem. bigwigs).
Daschle's pro-Arab history could explain his anti-American ANWR choice. He went against his longtime labor Union "friends." Curious.
