The Hill, a Capitol Hill publication, has an article today headlined "Senate candidates’ whirlwind convention." Excerpt:
Thune, a GOP cause célèbre to defeat Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), will be the beneficiary of a $2,000-a-plate fundraiser headlined by former Mayor Rudy Giuliani tomorrow. Seeking to draw a distinction with his opponent, Thune will highlight his closeness to the Bush White House.“Mr. Daschle is ashamed of his party’s nominee, but we’re not ashamed our ours,” said Dick Wadhams, Thune’s campaign manager.
Jake Maas, a Daschle spokes-man, responded, “Of course John Thune stands by the same president that twice convinced him to run for Senate so that he could be a rubber stamp for his agenda.”
Wadhams is referring to the fact that Daschle hastily left the Democratic National Convention before John Kerry gave his speech accepting the nomination. Daschle left so fast he even skipped a party he was scheduled to host.
