	United States Senate Minority Leader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Tom Daschle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Andrew Daschle (born December 9, 1947), known as Tom Daschle, was a U.S. Senator from South Dakota and the Senate Minority Leader.
		From January 3, 2001, to January 20, 2001, Daschle became Senate Majority Leader for the first time, as the Senate was evenly divided with 50 members from each major party, and as long as Al Gore was Vice President of the United States, this gave the Democrats the majority in that chamber.
		However, when Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont announced in May 2001 that he was leaving the Republican caucus to become an independent and would caucus with the Democrats, this returned control of the body to the Democrats and Daschle again became Majority Leader.

	Chat with Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley
		Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley: I do not forsee any change in laws related to the posession or use of marijuana in the near future.
		Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley: I would respond to Pat by informing her that I've had a long standing record for state employees in large part because I represent hundreds if not thousands of state employees in the 19th district.
		The people of Kansas look at her as a leader who is wiling to find compromise and who is willing to work for what is good not for one particular party but what is good for all of the people.

		Senate Democrats tried to regroup yesterday after two crushing defeats left their party without a leader or a clear strategy for stopping the GOP agenda.
		Senate Minority Whip Harry Reid (D-Nev.) stepped in immediately after Daschle’s defeat, telling Nevada reporters yesterday that he had secured at least 30 assurances of support from fellow Democrats — enough to succeed Daschle when Senate Democrats meet to reorganize Nov. 16.
		Leading Senate Republicans, meanwhile, boosted by the party’s gain of four Senate seats, are urging President Bush to push ahead with a strong conservative agenda.

		Although now in the minority, Erpenbach said Senate Democrats still had a crucial role to play, and in a brief visit to the caucus, Jim Doyle, the newly elected Democratic governor, assured them of that.

		Senate minority leader rips Greenspan as 'political hack'
		Reid ripped Greenspan during an interview on CNN's "Inside Politics," arguing that the Fed chairman has given President Bush a pass for deficits that have built up in the past four years and should be challenging Republicans for their fiscal policies rather than promoting Bush's plan to introduce personal accounts into Social Security.
		In his first months as successor to former minority leader and former senator Tom Daschle, D-S.D., Reid has proven to be a pugnacious and sometimes unpredictable leader, who has given the administration no quarter and whose comments sometimes have caused an uproar among his fellow Democrats.

	The Best Senate Minority Leader - Bruce Walker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		Even Republican senators from the three states that Kerry won - Olympia Snowe of Maine, Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island, and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania - are prohibitive favorites for reelection.
		This means that Democrats, who currently have only forty-four senators to fifty-five Republicans, could potentially lose a dozen seats in the mid-term election in two years.
		If, however, Senate Democrats choose a firebrand or a fake, then expect two years from now for a much worse November than 2002 or 2004: a filibuster proof Senate which can, will and should run roughshod over an angry minority.

		Maybe he would not actually win fights due to the Democrats’ minority position on the Hill, but he could help the party define what it is to be a Democrat.
		But maybe it's time to face facts that the Senate is no longer a stepping stone to the White House; the last Senate minority leader to make it to the Oval Office was Lyndon Johnson.
		Democrats should use the minority leadership position as a bully pulpit for the Democratic Party, a continuous advertising stream for the issues that matter most.
