Former Senator Tom Who?

Just saw this via Drudge:

Daschle: Democrats will pick up seven U.S. Senate seats

Hahaha… makes me laugh. I almost forgot this guy existed.
There’s really nothing quote-worthy in this article… besides this:

He also demurred on a possible run for president.

“I haven’t made any decisions, any announcements,” he said. “I think there’s a big field out there … and it’s going to be exciting to see what’s going to happen.”

Daschle visited the politically pivotal states of New Hampshire and Iowa earlier this year to discuss a possible run with voters there.

So, apparently, Daschle has visited New Hampshire to feel the presidential race waters.

(haha, I’m seriously still laughing)

His new motto must be something like: If at first you can’t succeed and hold on to your Senate seat (being the minority leader and all) in South Dakota (of all places!), try try again and run for the presidency!

My question for Mr. Daschle: Honestly, what do you have to do to get a sparsely populated state with no big claim to federal power to sacrifice a Senate Minority Leader and vote in a newbie?

That must take some skill.
