From the South Dakota Associated Press:
Daschle defeat tops 2004 state news stories
Associated PressSIOUX FALLS, S.D. - It doesn't happen very often.
The last time a sitting U.S. Senate leader was turned out of office was 1952.
Then came Nov. 2, when South Dakotans decided Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle should leave after 26 years in Washington. He served 18 years in the Senate - 10 as leader.
The upset win by Republican John Thune was voted the top news story of the year by Associated Press member editors and broadcasters in South Dakota.
