Daschle Has Lost His Clout

This from the Washington Post:

Arlington, Va.: Is there any incumbent Senator of either party who would be a good bet to be defeated this time around?

Stuart Rothenberg: Only two are really vulnerable at this point: Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who was appointed to her seat by her daddy, and Tom Daschle (D-South Dakota) who has a terrific opponent in John Thune and has lost the "clout" issue that saved his SD Democratic colleague, Tim Johnson, in 2002.

Daschle has about as much sincerity when he speaks as Eddie Haskel did when he addressed Mrs. Cleaver on "Leave It to Beaver."
