NBC's "Today" show this morning featured a segment on Daschle's departure from the Senate: "Daschle: 'I feel good walking out of these doors.'" Excerpt from the transcript of the show:
Gangel: Do you blame [President Bush] for your loss?
Daschle: No, not at all.
But what does trouble Daschle? Charges the Democratic Party is "out of touch."
Daschle: I think it's unfair, Jamie. One, I think that they did a better job of organizing. We were very, very good, but so were they. Two, I think it was a very nasty, vindictive (sic), negative campaign that worked in their case. I think that's unfortunate. I [also] think that there's a concern about security in this country and the people, all things considered, generally feel a little bit more comfortable with the incumbent than they do with the opposition.
They really pound on that "negative campaign" talking point, don't they? You'd almost think the Dems were pure as the driven snow when it comes to negative campaigns.
