From a Rapid City Journal story entitled "Daschle helping state party recruiting":
Asked to respond to some political observers' musings about a political future for Daschle, he said he would not even comment on speculation that he could be a replacement candidate if Sen. Tim Johnson, who suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2006, had a medical problem during his re-election campaign this year.
"I won't answer that," Daschle said. "He's not going to have one, and I'm proud of his recovery. He's just doing a phenomenal job."
One political blog has speculated about a 2010 rematch between Daschle and Sen. John Thune, who defeated Daschle four years ago.
"That's not going to happen, either," Daschle said.
