Daschle Hugging Jesus Next?

What will the good Senator's next appeal to his forgotten constituency be?

CT has this today by Collin Hansen.

Notable quote:

Polls currently show Daschle slightly ahead of former U.S. Rep. John Thune, a 1983 graduate of Biola University who challenged Sen. Tim Johnson in 2002, losing by only 524 votes. Defeat of Daschle would not only be a symbolic loss for Democrats, but it would also deal a near-fatal blow to their attempt to regain control of the closely divided Senate. The senator's supporters promote his ability to deliver federal dollars for local projects. His critics claim Daschle's party obligations prevent him from heeding South Dakota's conservative majority on matters like abortion and the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA). Thune told CT, "He has come back here for 26 years now and said one thing in South Dakota and something else in Washington. Nobody holds him accountable. He continues to portray himself here as pro-life."

It's too bad that it takes the FMA to get people fired up, but it's nice that Daschle will at least have to explain himself this year.
