After former Sen. Tom Daschle delivered several speeches across South Dakota last month, it left some wondering if he is entertaining re-entry into politics.
His standard answer to that question after his loss to John Thune was, "Never say never," and he left it at that. When Tim Fernholz interviewed Daschle for the Georgetown Voice, he asked him whether he sees a return to public office, perhaps a run for South Dakota governor.
Daschle responded: "I've always felt that it's important that you never close any doors, and I'm not going to be closing doors in my political life for the foreseeable future. I don't have any current plans to get back into elective political office. But I won't say, and I couldn't say, that that wouldn't happen. We'll have to wait and see what the future holds and what opportunities present themselves."
People keep asking us at SDP why we still follow Daschle since the election was seven months ago. The reason is that he's not out of the game yet. It's clear to see why Daschle's DASHPAC is funding Hildebrand's attack machine.
