For Dick Gephardt, 2001 was a year to forget. It began with bitter recriminations over his party's failure to win back the House of Representatives in the 2000 elections. Next, Gephardt watched helplessly as Tom DeLay rammed the Bush agenda through the House. In May, Gephardt saw his Senate counterpart Tom Daschle elevated from minority to majority leader by Jim Jeffords's party switch. Suddenly, Daschle was the undisputed face of the Democratic Party. As Republicans waged their "demonize Daschle" campaign late last year, Gephardt must have felt a strange envy: Republicans didn't even consider him worth attacking. Gephardt kept trying to get in the game, but nobody paid attention. "When he travels people say, `You're not doing enough to stake out a position against Bush,'" says one adviser. "Even though we're doing it every day."
