 washingtonpost.com: Daschle Trailing in Tight Race
Daschle has won his three Senate terms in the heavily Republican plains state by carrying nearly 20 percent of the GOP vote, a group of voters he is relying on to send him back to Washington.
Should Daschle fail, he would be the first Senate leader to lose a reelection campaign since Republican Barry Goldwater unseated Senate Majority Leader Ernest W. McFarland (D-Ariz.) in 1952, winning by just 7,000 votes.
Thune's advisers were cautiously optimistic early this morning, but they shied away from calling the race even as cheers could be heard in the background of a telephone interview: "I feel like the map is still going in our favor, but we're not ready to declare victory," said Dick Wadhams, Thune's campaign manager.
