DUers, Daschle needs help. Flip-flop ads have been effective in

[Sara Beverley]

turning voters against him. Do what you can to help.

1. F*ck Daschle

I don't care what happens to him. He is a traitor to the party. He should be hangin' with his homie, Zell Miller.

[FrankenforMN]

4. I tend to agree. The democratic party needs a gut check...he's one

He will not even mention Kerry on the campaign trail, and he has that ad where he is hugging Chimp. Sometimes I think the democratic party needs to torch the barn to kill the rats

[shelley806]

2. I just heard that.....

Sad, he's losing. How can I help in Texas?

[Richardson08]

3. maybe he should show his picture with * one more time

[Marlie]

7. Sad

I hate the thought of losing a seat in the Senate but Tom Daschle
has been so bad for our party I really don't care if he sticks
around or not. I agree, let him get more pictures with Bush out
to appeal to his conservative State. How the hell he ever became
Head of the Democratic Senate is beyond me.

[deutsey]

5. It's hard for me to feel much sympathy for Daschle but

we can't afford to lose his seat.

[demokatgurrl]

6. To me his only value is in the Democratic head count-

he should be dumped as Democratic leader. Spineless weenie. Put in someone with balls like Barbara Boxer.

[deutsey]

9. That's my opinion too.

We can't afford to lose any seats in the Senate, but we could afford to lose more spineless dweebs like him overall.

[Zen Democrat]

8. Screw his seat. He's a pink tutu boy who hates to disagree with Bush

We need a leader of the Democrats in the Senate. What's wrong with the Democrats is Democrats like Tom Daschle.

Remember the beginning of F 9/11 with the African-American congresspeople looking for only 1 signature from a Senator????
They didn't get that signature because of Tom Daschle. He wanted
to embrace George W. and have this "let's work together" party.
Daschle just doesn't get it. We don't need a Democratic leader
who comes from a Republican state and has to dance with the enemy.

Hillary would be a better leader in the Senate. Or Leahy. Or Durbin. Or Kennedy. Daschle is pathetic. And his wife is a big lobbyist. Not what we need at all.

[deutsey]

10. But in this case we're talking about Democratic headcount in the Senate

not replacing him as Senate Minority Leader. I'm all for that (him losing his leadership position); I can't see where losing his seat to a fascist is going to help the balance of power in the Senate.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

12. Thanks for the sane comments

may your sentiments prevail.

[DakotaDemocrat]

13. I remember...

It sickens me that NO ONE stood up, including those you just listed would be a better leader.

I want Senator Daschle speaking for me, not Thune. I'm working to get him there - should I quit doing that?

I can see the freeps now, "Even DUers don't want Daschle!"

Sometimes, this place has me going, "sheesh..."

[BiggJawn]

11. Yes, he does need help.

Unfortunately, it's a little late in the game for him to un-hitch his wagon from Bush and hitch it to Kerry.

Don't mourn the loss of his seat. Obama of Illinois cancels that out. and I think we're getting a better man, to boot!

[helpisontheway]

14. How far behind is he?

[freebird04]

15. We need to stick together...

I'm not a big Daschle fan but EVERY seat in the Senate counts, especially if, God forbid, Shrub gets re-selected. This is the most important election in our lifetimes and the balance of power for the whole country is at stake.
