Personally, i'm not voting for him, since he caved on the war, and i'm really just fed up with his repub appeasement ( i guess it's appeasement, but maybe those are his real positions). People think he has to take those positions in order to get elected, but i don't think it matters, because there is a certain segment of the population that will not vote for him no matter what; the rest are either democrats or people who vote for him because of some personal experience with him or who have benefitted from some particular policy. His opponent, John Thune only lost to Tim Johnson by about 500 votes last time, so it could go either way. I think though that Daschle's position as majority leader and the years of doling out federal money will probably get him through this one.
