You know what this means don't you?? It means HE HAS TO GIVE UP HIS SENATE SEAT in order to run for President. Gov of SD signed into law - person cannot run for 2 spots at once (like Loserman did in Conn.).

What if he loses the primary? Is there enough time to run for Senate or is the filing date already passed by March? He should know by then if he's in the running for the nomination.

A little research shows that Tommy boy has until April 2 to decide if he will run for Senate. Plenty of time to make a try for Prez and bow out in time.

I don't know the answser to that - I don't have a copy of the new law. However, Rush seemed to be of the impression that Daschle would have to give up his seat in order to run - whether that means before or if he wins the primary - I don't know.
