Ellsworth gets on the list of base closings: "The announcement was a setback for Sen. John Thune. The Republican defeated Democratic leader Tom Daschle by campaigning on his close ties to the White House. At the end of the heated campaign last fall, Daschle used Ellsworth as an example of his clout in Washington, claiming he kept the base off the list during the last round of closings. Thune's campaign countered that Daschle's role as leader of President Bush's opposition would be a liability during the base closing process. On Friday, Thune said: "I will help lead the fight in the Senate" to delay this round of base closings." ========http://fullcoverage.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050513/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/base_closings_ellsworth Dems are already gearing up to blame these local economic disasters on Republicans.
