Daschle in trouble?

Thune is running Daschle very tightly - 48% for Daschle to 45% ... particularly when you consider the 4.5% MOE. Will Daschle start to speak out more as November approaches, thereby convincing some of the 29% of the conservatives to support Thune? These folks must be looking at Daschle's seniority as power and money back home. What if Kerry tanks? Perhaps he will drag some folks to the bottom of the pond with him. And if Daschle goes on the offensive, well, he has a way of sounding annoyingly like Mario Cuomo at times.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
