1. Can't see him going anywhere...

Wasn't the greatest Majority Leader in the world!

[KingFlorez]

2. Spare me

No more loser candidates

[FARAFIELD]

3. ADD ME TO THE LIST OF

people that dont give a shit

[AX10]

4. Forget it. Harry Reid? Maybe, but Daschle? Forget it.

Daschle was ineffective as the Democratic leader in the Senate and lost his re-election bid.

[Crunchy Frog]

5. What an inspiring candidate he would be.

I didn't even want him to win reelection to the Senate.

[Comicstripper]

6. Hmm. Good idea:

Let's nominate a man who couldn't even get re-elected in his own home state with incumbency AND a high-ranking position in what used to be a major political party, who wasn't even well-liked when he WAS in office. Smart.

7. Lieberman/Daschle '08.

:bounce: :toast: :bounce:

[BootinUp]

14. lol

sarcasm, right? :hi:

[oasis]

22. They'd have a hard time delivering their own states.

[MADem]

8. I honestly don't see him going all the way, but what the hell

Let him get in there and do some scrappin'. He may come up with some interesting points.

Half the time, when candidates declare, what they are really doing is auditioning for a cabinet position, or selection as VP. If he can motivate a segment of the population to get out and VOTE for a Democrat, that isn't a bad thing.

[Pithy Cherub]

9. The comedic element is light so Daschle is the sacrificial fun goat.

Thank goodness, my vote won't matter to his chances. :rofl:

[fishwax]

10. thanks anyway, tom

i don't think he has a prayer of getting the nod ...

[Capn Sunshine]

11. Poster boy for hand-wringing simpering liberals

Daschle did a lot of good, but his image is major league wimp.

[sendero]

12. LOL...

.. Tom "milk toast personified" Daschle? Laugh Out Loud - who would be stupid enough to vote for that useless cowering wimp of a senate leader? He is the exact polar opposite of what the party needs.

[incapsulated]

13. I knew this was coming

Not. A. Chance.

Who will vote for this guy, even in the primaries?

[Daylin Byak]

16. Bite me Tom,

You were nothing but a cold and uninsperational Minority leader that sided with the RW too much. Plus John Thune ruined your chances of getting anywhere in the political world. Your done.

Am I right?

[BootinUp]

15. I agree with a post above

Let him jump in and see what he can effect. But I doubt he will get the nomination.

[WinkyDink]

17. No, thanks!

[FrenchieCat]

18. I mean....come on!

Mr. Daschle, it ain't going nowhere....I mean wasn't it under your leadership that so many fucking elected Dems Senators voted for the IRW...including yourself? There must be a punchline somewheres!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. Tom...Daschle...?

Surely you jest.

[FrenchieCat]

20. That must be the punchline! LOL!

[TankLV]

21. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh

he's serious?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No - wait - let's get McCaine to run as a dem - that's almost as ridiculuous!

[Harald Ragnarsson]

23. If he asks for an Anthrax investigation, maybe I'd vote for him

If someone tries to kill you and you don't care enough about that to get to the bottom of it, you're not fit to be my President.

Sorry, Tom.

[Totally Committed]

24. Just another gutless wonder diluting the Democratic message...

yay. :sarcasm:

TC

[obreaslan]

25. Even Daschle wouldn't vote for Daschle....

He'll find some reason to back down from supporting his own candidacy. Probably stating that he doesn't think this is the time to divide the country and throw his support behind the Republican candidate.
