The Sioux City (IA) Journal published an article today headlined "Grassley: Bush needs to paint distinct picture for 10 percent undecideds" discussing President Bush's planned visit to Sioux City tomorrow. Excerpt:
Grassley added that Bush should recognize the geography of his visit and speak to the South Dakotans in attendance. U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota is locked in a re-election race with former Republican Congressman John Thune. Grassley said Daschle has served the nation poorly, bottling up key legislation and judicial appointments. Many good pieces of legislation, Grassley said, have been "essentially buried in a Daschle burial ground" through filibusters and other means.
In 2002, Senator Johnson used a Grassley quote in one of his television ads regarding livestock ownership by meatpackers. Grassley is known to be an independent-minded Republican. I don't think Daschle can easily shrug off this criticism by Grassley.
Grassley has also criticized Daschle for putting the interests of the Democratic Party before the interests of South Dakota corn farmers on ethanol, which can be read HERE and HERE.
