If Incumbent Daschle runs for re-election, I think he'll wipe the floor with Mr. Thune.

whats your basis I am not saying your wrong but tommy has been the worst sen majority leader in senate history, not to mention his 38% approval rating and bush runs about 70%

I agree with Coop--the voting scandals are now out in
lonely rural areas--something that Republicans can't
seem to fix -VOTER FRAUD --Daschole lose??? not with
the Demonrat lawyers doing the "counting" by the way
the bigger fraud in South Dak.--more people voted than
LIVED in those counties!! as per the 2000 census!!

Dasshole's a powerful leader with high name recognition, very popular among South Dakotans. If Thune could not beat freshman Tim Johnson, in an off-Presidential year (where turnout tends to favor the GOP), I think Thune will get beaten handily by a multi-term Dem leader running during a Presidential election.

I have to disagree - the 'Hole ran rings around the opposition. His hubris about it was amazing however. I think he is simply a nasty person.
