NRO has an article headlined "The Happiest Man in Nevada." Excerpt:
I'm sure Reid has received several calls already. These Democrats are not stupid. Daschle has polled under 50 percent in the last three non-partisan statewide polls in South Dakota. In the last two polls, Daschle was actually trailing Republican John Thune by three points — 49 percent for Thune vs. 46 percent for Daschle. Incumbents under 50 percent in the late polls almost always lose. The undecideds break against them. Incumbents a) under 50 percent and b) actually trailing challengers in the polls are almost certain losers. Senate Democrats have seen these polls. They panicked! The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sent a fresh round of negative ads Thune's way, and they flew out as many last-minute volunteers as they could. But it won't work: Tom Daschle, meet Jim Sasser. D.C. Democrats know Daschle's time is over, and they won't wait until the wake to fight over the silver and the china.
