The AP's Carson Walker has a "new" piece headlined "Republicans Eye American Indian Vote" that looks suspiciously similar to a piece published a month ago headlined "GOP eyes American Indian vote in traditional Democratic stronghold." The new piece contains one important passage that the old piece did not:
Daschle is by far South Dakota's most powerful politician, with three terms in the Senate and more than eight years as the Senate Democratic leader. His leadership position has brought immense clout to this rural state of about 750,000.
Daschle couldn't write a better script for one of his ads than that. The Argus Leader refused to publish the old piece, sans the the Daschle ad script, when it came out a month ago. I guarantee that the newly revised piece, containing the paragraph above, will be published in tomorrow's edition of the AL.
UPDATE: Indian Country Today recently published a piece headlined "In South Dakota, Senate may again depend on Indian vote."
