From the weekly political magazine National Journal:
Tom Daschle: As potential 2008 candidacies go, this is one that actually feels four years too late. We wonder if Daschle is kicking himself secretly for passing up the shot in 2004, a year that was bereft of a big-time front-runner. There was a moment for Daschle, but it probably was a few years ago. That said, if the presidential desire is really in the South Dakotan's gut (and again, we wonder if it's there, because if it were, then we're convinced he would have run in 2004), then 2008 is Daschle's last shot. By 2016, he would be closing in on 70 and would likely be overtaken by a new generation of leaders.
