Daschle was against middle-class tax relief before he was for it

Hugh Hewitt notes a recent article from the Washington Times headlined "Congress extends Bush tax cuts for middle class" and remarks that "Tom Daschle was against the tax relief before he was for it." Relevant excerpt from the Washington Times article:

With the election just around the corner, the pressure was on members of both chambers to support the tax relief.

Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat in a close re-election race, criticized the bill because its $146 billion value is not offset in any way, but in the end, he supported it.

Hugh Hewitt also makes the following observation about the Argus Leader:

The Argus Leader is to the Daschle-Thune race what CBS was to Bush-Kerry until the forged docs were exposed.

Well said.
