Have you heard whether Thune is going to make a go at Daschle's seat in '04. That's what I'm praying for. As a Minnesotan without a U.S. Senate race in '04, Thune would be my official "adopted" candidate. (Sorry, I know this is O.T.)

Yes, he is very determined to preserve his viability in that election --against Daschle, or more likely, to fill the open seat vacated in 2004 by Daschle's retirement.
Personally, I wish he were more interested in having the Senate use the FBI indictments to refuse to seat Johnson at least as a permanent member, perhaps making him only a provisional member, and then when the indictments come down, just boot Johnson and have the Senate declare Thune the winner and seat him.

Well, how can Thune run against Daschle when he said in the campaign that SD needed a senator from the Republican party to balance and "work with" Senator Daschle? If Thune couldn't top Johnson, how can he beat the even more entrenched Daschle? Just wondering...

What -- if any -- cable station is everyone watching?
