It's important to review this post entitled "Giago Says Deal Struck with Daschle, But Daschle Campaign Denies." The Rapid City Journal, KOTA Television, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, Talon News etc have all written stories about the deal to get Giago out of the race (see previous link for more). The Argus, by they way, hasn't run a news story on this matter. Here's the Washington Post version:
While Giago would not go into detail about the issues he and Daschle discussed, he has said that he wanted Daschle to open dialogue on returning the sacred Black Hills to the tribes of the Sioux Nation, and to help remedy the lack of economic opportunities on the state's reservations, the poorest in the country. Giago had expressed distress that Daschle did not seem open to discussing the Black Hills. ... At Saturday's meeting here, where Giago is based, Daschle agreed to convene a meeting in August in the Black Hills with tribal leaders and elders from all nine South Dakota reservations.
