Dear John Cooke: For future reference, please recall the tip from Ross on Friends that y-o-u apostrophe r-e means "you are;" y-o-u-r means "your." Secondly, Tom Daschle is one of the best statesmen this country has ever seen. He can work together but can also stand up for what he and his party believe in. And that, my friends, is what the Democratic Party needs. Also realize that he was running against Thune in a very high-profile presidential election year and only lost by a small margin. (And by the way, just because he moved to Washington that doesn't mean he forgot about South Dakota. In fact, I believe I was noticing that he talked an awful lot about the state and still seems interested in the state's issues, particularly those related to the reservations there. Also realize that he was leading the party in the most exclusive club in the country and therefore had two very important, distinct tasks to balance. I think he did a rather magnificent job myself.) Last, he has incredible name ID and power within the party. Democrats love him, and he is a wee bit (and by that, I mean A TON) smarter than Bill Owens, who is one of the potential Republican choices. Just a thought.

A Daschle Comeback??

I'm pretty sure this is just to keep his name out there...for business purposes, but we'll see....

"It could be president, it could be vice president, it could be something else," Hildebrand said. "It could be nothing."

My votwe would be "D" -- nothing.

And before anyone asks, this is what I'd personally consider to be 'bad hair'. You look at it too long and you'll swear that it moves.

"Worked for W." What on earth are you talking about? From what I can tell, Cheney went right from the House to a Cabinet post: Wyoming was and is a safe GOP state, VP or no; and 'bad hair'... OK, if Daschle's hair qualifies as 'bad', I guess that so does Cheney's. Still. Reflexive, much?

Hey Tom: Hang it up, your a loser and you should know it. Of course if you want to piss away all the money the poor people sent for your reelection, thats ok! As usual you politicians know how to get rid of our money instead of returning it. Thanks a lot, just goes to show what a true human being you are, never again will I give money to you scum!

[...] OTB chews on a prospective Daschle run at the White House by keenly noting: I can’t imagine Daschle even carrying South Dakota, let alone beating out Hillary Clinton and others for the nomination. And the rationale for putting a defeated has-been with bad hair and three electoral votes in the second spot eludes me. Posted at 4:39 pm by Baron - [...]
