South Dakota's Aberdeen News features a nice letter by a South Dakotan in favor of Tom Daschle. Interestingly, it mentions John Thune's career as a lobbyist, indicating that this might be getting some play within the state:
- In a written statement on Tuesday, John Thune called Sen. John Kerry's selection of Sen. John Edwards as his running mate, "Tom Daschle's worst nightmare." I'm not sure what Thune worries about at night in his job as a Washington lobbyist, but I am sure that Daschle's concerns are not as petty . . . . Thune's suggestion that the vice presidential selection is of grave concern to Daschle is a clear indication that Thune is more interested in negative, partisan politics than in standing up for South Dakotans.
