Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) has been running ads and criss-crossing the country to attend fundraisers to bolster his reelection chances. His campaign has already spent nearly $2 million even though the three-term incumbent has yet to draw an opponent. The ads remind South Dakotans that Daschle thinks ethanol is good and a prescription drug plan for Medicare will help seniors. The media blitz began after a series of television ads were run in South Dakota critical of Daschle by the Club for Growth, a Washington, DC-based anti-tax group.

A subsequent investigation by Talon News revealed that Daschle had applied for and received the city's "homestead" property tax exemption, even though it was restricted to homeowners whose primary residence was Washington.
