Sibby and Q weigh in

Sibby shares his take on the Daschle v. Thune debate and adds many interesting details of the debate to the mix. Excerpt:

Then all of a sudden Daschle tried to argue that we need less partisanship. He said that he and Thune held the same position on the Death Tax. Laughter broke out in the crowd, and Thune had a look of disbelief on his face.

It was interesting to observe that the crowd also broke into laughter when Daschle talked about working with Bill Janklow. I'm told that the laughter was even audible in the radio broadcast. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but I'm betting Daschle won't bring that up again.

Last, but not least, Q has some excellent observations on the issue of Daschle dodging debates, noting that Daschle has blogged about being at the Sioux Empire Fair when he could have been having a debate with Thune.
