THE SENATOR FROM D.C.:
Thune: D.C. tax break shows Daschle out of touch (Jon Walker, 10/21/2004, Argus Leader)
Republican candidate John Thune said Wednesday that Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle's participation in a tax break on housing in Washington, D.C., shows that his opponent has lost touch with South Dakota.Posted by Orrin Judd at October 21, 2004 2:18 PM"It ties in to the very theme of the campaign all along," Thune said in a phone interview from Garretson. "Tom Daschle is a lot more about Washington than he is about South Dakota. He's willing to declare Washington his principal place of residence for a $288 tax break."

Thune appears to have run a good campaign. And blogs have helped to offset the pro-Daschle MSM in SD. Not clear that Thune will defeat Daschle but definitely looking possible right now.
