DVT has the complete text of a portion of today's Political Diary from the Wall Street Journal regarding the slim likelihood that Daschle will retain his leadership post on the off chance he gets reelected. Excerpt:
An article in The Hill newspaper over the summer noted that "fault lines of a potential leadership struggle within the Democratic Caucus are already visible." Members who are upset with Mr. Daschle's leadership style will not be forgiving if Democrats lose more seats in the Senate. If he wins re-election but Democrats are still a minority in the Senate, Mr. Daschle may well decide to leave to take a top spot on the Appropriations Committee.
