Is Tom Daschle planning a comeback? Tom, please, stay home.

I've seen Daschle's adds on DU to raise money to help end the Iraqi war. An admirable goal, however, Daschle is still a politician and someone is paying for those ads.

Tom, if this is part of political "comeback," please drop it. You are a nice man, but you were totally ineffective as the senate minority leader. Harry Reid has done more in one year than you did in four.

Oh, what the hell. I'm just wasting key strokes here. A politician's main goal is to get elected or reelected, so why should I expect any different from you?

Someday, someone may identify this need for power as just another addiction and set up some kind of detox center to help those afflicted.

I'm not sure we need him at this time.

I'd love to have him back. Just one more "D" toward a Democratic majority.

But as a presidential candidate, he's a stink bomb.

Do you think this time off has facilitated a "spiritual awakening"? Do you think he might just fight the repugs this time instead of rolling over? He blinked way too many times.

I don't care if he's a complete and total DINO... just as long as he keeps that "D" by his name, and the party keeps him out of any leadership position.

As long as they don't give him any serious leadership position, I'd take Zell Miller over the most moderate Republican. He who holds the majority in the Senate decides what bills get voted on. Nothing else matters.

I'd rather work at promoting a real Democrat than any DINO. I want someone who would work for the party. I support the philosophy of PDA, Progressive Democrats of America. DINO's are worthless in the big picture.

I don't care how many DINOs we have. Without them, we can't win in certain places. And a Democratic majority in either House in 2006 is the only immediate way to put a stop to the Bush agenda.

I prefer progressive candidates, but if they've got a good chance of winning, and there's no progressive candidate, I'll take a DINO any day of the week.

I have not heard anyone use that term in a long time.
I like it.

I predict he may be able to double the number of primary votes Lieberman got in 2004.

THANKS FOR THAT WALT!

GOD PLEASE KEEP THIS LITTLE WHINY WIMPY COWARD HOME ON THE RANGE WHERE HE BELONGS

WE HAVE SUFFERED FOOLS WAY TOO LONG IN THIS PARTY AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO WOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT DINOS SHOULD JUST STFU

I hpe we have more candidates in ours than the Repukes have in theirs.

And if the Democrats are smart, it'll work out so that you won't be able to tell who the winner is for weeks and wekks and weeks, preferably not even until the convention!

Having about three contenders going into the convention where the first ballot does not produce a winner would work out well.

Of course, this would only work if the biggest debate on the Democratic side was precisely how badly the Bush amdinistration has screwed things up and the nuances of how we go about fixing it!


Well, I can dream, can't I? ;-)

running in 08. He can't regain his Senate seat for five more years and he would lose his Seniority, I believe. So, why would he be putting out a paid ad asking us to sign a petition?

He really must think we are dumb...:-( Like we don't know what he did? Like we haven't been signing petitions that weren't "paid advertisements" against Iraq Invasion since before it began. :eyes:

but SD certainly needs him. He was one of the best senators they ever had.

Nice guy.
Bad politician.
Horrible minority leader.

we sure could use another Senate or House seat. I'm not sure why you'd want to push out any viable candidate at this point.

And maybe he's changed some. :shrug: I didn't get to know him or anything like that like I am with Reid but just from what I've read and seen of him in video's in Moore's F911 for example. I think he'll be an okay Senator but I don't want him to be leader again. Harry is the best.
Of course now the only people who are really out there with politics are people running for the House or Senate. I think Joe Biden is the only one who has said anything about a presidential run (he said on the "Daily Show" earlier this year he was testing things out).

i don't think he's planning on running again, i think maybe he just wants to stay involved.

I checked out his ad and didn't see any signs of him "coming back" as a Senator or anything. At least it wasn't made known on the website the ad goes to. I think he could be starting up another democratic think tank like an answer to the DLC.

May be he'll comeback with more fire this time. Problem is the other seat isn't up for 2 years and it's held by a Dem already. He has to wait 5 years to get his seat back. May be he can be Gov. or dog catcher or something. Or at least get a House seat if he's been humbled by past stupidity.

of a Senate Seat.....

He's a dumbass if he thinks he can be President and he couldn't even protect his own seat and party leadership position.

It's is not a wise political move to put someone in a leadership position from a state where he can be bribed to walk a Republian line...

I think he might be making a new democratic group think tank kind of like an answer to the DLC. :shrug: I haven't read if he's coming back to the Senate. If he does I just hope Reid stays as the leader. He's been the best!!
