Options? What options?
Denise Ross is over at the Hog House Blog noting that when asked about returning to public service, former Senator Tom Daschle noted that
There is a whisper out there that some of "his people" want him to consider taking over Johnson's slot if it becomes available. Hmmmm.....
“you never say never but I have no plans at this time,” line and then emphasized how much he enjoys public service. And, "I’ll be looking at options as they present themselves."Read it here.

oops, yep, i said that.
Yeah, it was clearly such a great move when SD replaced the Senate minority leader with What's-His-Face.
Yeah, that was a great move for South Dakota. We should definately keep doing that.
Well maybe Tom should have been forth coming with how he did back certain organizations and a few other items!
You know it really shouldn't become a life long job. The tax payers make them millionaires and they lose touch with the real world.
That doesn't make any sense. The national Republicans are the ones selling off pieces of the Constitution to the lowest bidder.
O YEA, Kennedy was also one of the big authors of the "no child left behind act" O YEA, he is a dem.
Let's See Hillary wants social medicine O YEA, Canada wants to do away with it. I will admit health is in bad shsape. We haven't heard much on the HMO's and PPO's lately and how they have hurt. That fell wayside....
Let's see as the Dems scream about the ungodly amount of profit the oil companies get haha look at what the fed government takes in. Yes, that is how we get road work done.
The government is not the solution they are the problem.
I am not srue that i agree with 11:43 on their comment.
I am done for now!
If Dems get in, they will raise taxes in their effort at income redistribution. Never mind that those at the bottom end don't pay income taxes anyway; let's just take more from us who do and give to those who don't.
Daschle's time has come and gone. All the reasons he got beat last time are still there, plus a few new ones.
They want to remove the rights of all Americans and replace it with Big Brother control!
Tho shall nave no rights...let big Mama & Daddy decide for you. That is their game. Don't let anybody try to say anything else to change your mind.
They think you/we/us are to dumb to think and decide for ourselves on anything. Where is that darn horsewhip when it needs cracked over the our heads to tell us what we need.
"Tim Johnson is going to be our candidate,
and he will win re-election.
I know this for sure."
That's the most relevant part.
Forget about who can beat Tom.
Who can beat Tim?
Though I appreciate his service for SD, the future belongs to other candidates.
After a quickie, during which PuPu swore he heard GHWB sigh in pleasure, PuPu arose, and scratching his privates, answered the phone, which had been ringing for almost five minutes. It was Jewel Dyke, who PuPu was contracting to advise in her attempt to become a U.S. Senator.
“Hey, Poops,” Jewel’s surgically-altered voice fairly dripped with sincerity, “just wanted to know what color my yard signs should be.” PuPu said, “Good question, shows you’re thinking. I’ll get back to you this afternoon.”
PuPu the Blogger knew the answer already; predominantly red, with white and blue tastefully added, but by putting Jewel off for a few hours, he could bill for research. That way, he’d make $500 off a $2 question. “Why do people steal,” he thought, “when there’s so much honest money to be made?”
With the day already paid for, PuPu the Blogger picked up “Klaudt’s Klozzet”, the catalog from which he’d ordered the GHWB doll. Despite what he interpreted as the doll’s enthusiastic response to his advances, he found himself becoming bored with it.
Seeing what he wanted, he logged onto the catalog’s website. Once on the shopping cart page, he typed in “Item #000209; Idi Amin Lifelike Action Doll with simulated human flesh hors d’ouevres.”
PuPu the Blogger then plunged a letter opener into the chest cavity of the George Herbert Walker Bush doll. Tears streamed down his face as he watched the doll deflate. It was going to be another one of those days.
Well, then what are you? A registered independent who complains that they don't like what the GOP is doing? Why would you then care?
It's our party, and we'll endorse if we want to. (endorse if we want to, endorse if we want to...)
That is, unless the majority of the county GOP committees decide that they don't agree.
Get the facts straight!
The Dems supported the war too! Well go ahead and play the Kerry flippy game. That line will go down in history!
Bush went by what he was told. hummmmmm so how much should a person TRUST those who are choosen to serve???? That can go for either side.
Torture, well dthere is a fine line. But conserind the hate others have for America what do you want to do put them up at the Ritz with full service?? Just who is chopping off whos head in the world, who is raping women, etc. etc.
Not that i enjoy the thought of someone listening into phone calls but tell ya what if they get a few more terriost maybe it is a price to pay. I think a few people need to sit back and think if they would really want to live in any other country well NOT ME!
Well, nice try, but no sale. I didn't say Libby did it. GWB and his boss Dick Cheney did it. And you're right, GWB does what he is told, including lying to his fellow Americans, time, after time, after time. He's still doing it. At least the Dems had the courage to change their minds once they learned what the real story was. There's no shame in that.
And if you think it's okt to defend torture, talk to your fellow Republican, John McCain, who was tortured, not to us. Also, if you want your phone tapped, go for it, but remember what Ben Franklin said, He who would trade liberty for security has neither. Finally, you left quite a few points without rebuttal. I'll take it that you accept those as valid. Have a good one.
To rebut, your first comment regards abortion. Protecting all life, even unborn, is what this concerns, not snooping in doctors’ offices.
If tapping the phones of people who have received phone calls from known terrorists bothers you, so be it. It doesn’t bother me. I rely in our gov’t to protect me and my family, and this is one of the ways in which they try to do that. They aren’t monitoring me because I don’t know any terrorists or get called by them. Why are you worried about them monitoring your calls??
It wasn’t only Reps that thought Saddam has WMD. Dems also thought so and had been saying so for years. (Clinton for example)
Plame wasn’t exposed by Libby. She was already known to be an agent. But whatever furthers the Dem’s agenda to get rid of Bush, I guess.
And the Reps don’t want to install a state religion; that is forbidden by our constitution in case you forgot. They are simply trying to prevent installation of secularism as a state religion. This country was founded on Christian principles no matter what you naysayers state. Other religions are welcome, but don’t claim that Christianity has to be stamped out in our gov’t in order to be tolerant of others.
Thanks for my laugh of the day! Just what makes you think I'm a fundamentalist Christian? Just in case you care, and I know you don't, but I'm not. And I'm the last person to go about preaching as a mandate from God!
However, that being said, I do value all life, even unborn. I would also allow abortion for rape/incest/health of the mother, but of course those reasons would be given for any abortion for any other reason. You know that, and so do I. But this isn't about abortion.
Your post was simply Dem talking points, and I refuted them. Not as well as an actual debator would, but as well as this blogger can right now.
I don't personally care if you are Christian, Buddhist, or a worshipper of moths or bedbugs. To deny the Christian heritage of this nation in the name of tolerance is wrong, period. And that, my friend, is what you evidently want to do.
"To deny the Christian heritage of this nation in the name of tolerance is wrong, period."
Well, there you go nonnie, what else is there to say except:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
That means, you're the one that's wrong,
kid, not us.
It would just be nice if the "if" could be applied and that honesty was used in America.
No I don't think we agree on most of the issues, but i bet there might be some we do.
I know I should not have strted this post but so be it.
Got to go, work is calling again.

Well, really, I wasn't wondering about that. I do have some questions about the propriety of school boards making a decision to sue without some kind of vote; but school boards make decisions to hire lawyers to defend schools when they are sued by ACLU or students, parents, etc. And, they probably pay a lawyer on retainer as well.
Why is paying an attorney to get more money for schools any different than paying an attorney to keep a school from paying out more money?
And I heard that North Dakota went through a simiar situation. They had a bunch of schools sueing the state because it was underfunding education. And you know what happened? ND decided to increase funding and they dropped the lawsuit.
Shocking, I know!
And I find it funny that Republicans don't seem to mind spending billions upon billions on an immoral, unjust war, yet they can't seem to find a few hundred million to help out education.
Not a problem. Deep down, I, like you, am hoping we can find common ground. Let's work on that, ok?
It's time, don't you think?
Congress has been making laws regarding the free exercise thereof. What do you think the Christians are upset about? I don't want the gov't to establish a religion either. But to all of a sudden decide that "in God we trust" on money and "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance are wrong, not allowing teachers to even use the word Christmas in school, not allowing carols to be sung in school,etc etc is what I'm talking about. You who want the gov't to establish no religion are taking the meaning of teh Constitution where it was never intened to go.
And that is where you are wrong, kid, not us.
That means, you're the one that's wrong,
kid, not us.
Let's hear it for poster 6:31.
I hear ya and back your comments!
really i do!

8:36 Right. That makes two of you.
8:39 PM & author of most of the other "anonymous" responses on this post.
Just because you have more time to "play" online and flood a blog with your own responses doesn't indicate you're winning the debate.
Personally, I think you need to ask your Dr to up the dose on your Prozac prescription. And no, we didn't need to listen in on your phone calls or bug your Dr visits to figure THAT out...
"But to all of a sudden decide that 'in God we trust' on money and 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance are wrong..."
You must just zone out after the soundbites.
Take a look at the money in your pocket and tell me, does it still say "in God we trust?" Yeah, I think it does.
Now, go to an elemenatary school or a high school first thing in the morning to listen to the Plege of Allegiance. Then tell me, do they still say "under God" in the Pledge? Well, I'll be damned, they still do. Even though all those wacky liberal judges are trying to take away your precious Christianity, it's still there.
Nonnie, you get caught up in a few silly lawsuits brought by overzealous plaintiffs, and you totally gloss over the fact that they did not prevail. Don't you get that? They didn't win. God is still on the money, and in the Pledge. What do you have to complain about?
