Perhaps you've already seen it elsewhere, but The Hill stands by it's "distance yourself from Bush" story regarding John Thune. They also give praise to the Senator for being an independent voice. Here's a snippet:
Thune, who is likely the next chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), has shown himself to be an effective legislator. His most significant accomplishment was getting Ellsworth off the Pentagon’s chopping block during its base-realignment process.
So, clearly, Thune is no rookie when it comes to politics.
Still, when lawmakers talk about Iraq so close to the midterms, their comments are going to be scrutinized.
Thune is an independent-minded senator who will likely be in the Senate for some time. Because he has previously made frank comments about the administration, Thune’s opinions carry more weight than senators who repeat the party mantra again and again.
