The UPI has a story on Tim Giago's run as an independent, headlined "Independent complicates Daschle re-elect." Excerpt:
As a bloc, South Dakota's Indians tend to heavily favor the Democrats. In 2002, they provided Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., with enough votes to let him eke out a narrow victory over Republican John Thune. Now that Giago, a newspaper publisher and Oglala Indian, has decided to run as an independent in the general election rather than challenge Daschle in the primary, as previously announced, could alter the landscape in an already nationally significant race.
