Tom Daschle’s in a horserace with Republican John Thune in South Dakota.
I know, I know. Don’t believe the polls, at least not this far out. But there are a few caveats that I’ve mentioned before, and one of them is taking a general look at the polls (not citing specific percentages as if they’re rock solid). Generally speaking Thune has been running close with Daschle… amazing when you think Daschle’s poured nine million dollars into this race already.
I know both parties have enough money to go around, but with Martinez winning in Florida, and thus presumably boosting the Cuban-American vote for Bush, and Daschle having a tough time in South Dakota… you can’t help but wonder how this is going to effect the Carson/Coburn race in Oklahoma. Will the outside money still be there for Brad Carson?
