Daschle in trouble in South Dakota race

Senator Tom Daschle, the chief obstructionist of Bush's agenda in the Senate, is in a dogfight in South Dakota against former Congressman John Thune. Thune has been hammering Daschle in their debates, painting Dasshole as a national liberal in DC and a conservative wannabe back in South Dakota. Polls show the race anywhere from a 49-49 tie to a 50-46 Thune lead.

A Dasshole defeat would be like picking up three Senate seats for Republicans.

It doesn't help that Tommy Boy has now homesteaded a mansion in DC. That's right...homesteaded. Seems he's fond of all of us peons paying higher taxes, but he's clearly not fond of them, thus his "homestead" exemption in DC. Tell me...if he's a homesteaded resident of DC, then he can't be a resident of South Dakota. And South Dakota law says a Senate candidate has to be a resident of the state. Hmmmmmmmmm...
