Tom Daschle Was Right

++Tom Daschle was right about South Dakota. Daschle criticized Harry Reid this week for missing an opportunity in keeping a Senate seat with Weiland in South Dakota.

++This blog flagged the Weiland candidacy as one of the most imaginative this election cycle. The candidate held town hall meetings in every town in the state.

++Now PPP releases a poll today to show why Tom Daschle is right. Mike Rounds leads Weiland by 35% to 28% and Larry Pressler trails with 24% and libertarian Howe with 8%. 

++The PPP poll is heavily weighted toward Republicans at +14 and even more GOP than registered voters. So what is the opening?

++Weiland has a favorable/unfavorable rating of 41-38, while Rounds is at 41/51 and sinking because of the latest scandal of him selling green cards. But the shocker is that the Pressler voter holds Rounds in total contempt at 18% favorable/68% unfavorable. The Pressler voter thinks relatively highly of Weiland.

++PPP says that their polling of Rounds just shows rapid drops which will continue through the month.

++That's why Daschle was insistent that the Democratic Senate Committee go into South Dakota large. We'll see.
