More on Daschle for President... I don't think he is a huge threat to Bush. While he clearly has a voice of velvet, I think people view him as the figurehead for Democrat obstructionism over the last two years and were offended by it. If you disagree with Bush, fine. But don't just obstruct. Give us a better alternative. Daschle totally failed as a leader and administrator in the Senate, and I think people recognize it. I think Kerry is the one to watch. Hopefully, his extremist liberal voting record will catch up with him. He'll no doubt win NY, Mass, & CA, though...

Richard Re...More on Daschle for President... nytimes.com. And just when we thought no good could come out of us having to listen to Daschles droll commericials. Mr. Daschle's advisers said that should he run for president, he would be unlikely to seek re-election as a senator, though they said he had not reached a decision on that. His term expires at the end of 2004. They said he would probably stay on for the time being as the Senate minority leader, though he was likely to step down as the demands of a presidential campaign intensified. Then there is this part. Mr. Daschle is probably the best known of the Democratic candidates, party officials said yesterday. That is not entirely a good thing. It was under his watch last year that Democrats lost control of the Senate, turning Mr. Daschle from a majority leader into a minority leader. We can only hope Daschle continues his unrivaled success, turning not just the senate dem. into minority status, but the whole party
