Dachle complains that republicans plan on campaigning for senate seat

[dude1394]

This is rich. So I guess Daschle thinks that the republicans should just forfeit because a senator has gotten too sick to do his job?
I would think the people of his state might have a little something to say about keeping a guy in office who can't do the job.

Poor, poor dems.

Daschle lashes out at GOP for zeroing in on Johnson
By Aaron Blake
August 09, 2007
Calling national Republicans “sad” and “desperate,” former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) decried their pledge to begin pursuing an aggressive campaign against his ill former South Dakota Senate colleague, Sen. Tim Johnson (D).

In an e-mail to supporters issued by Johnson’s campaign committee, Daschle criticizes National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Chairman John Ensign (Nev.) for saying he would push forward with an effort to defeat Johnson in 2008.

Johnson suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage in December and has yet to return to the Senate or begin campaigning, but fellow Democratic senators have helped him raise more than $1.2 million this year for his reelection bid.

I honestly wish him well in his recovery, but at least while he is sick and cannot vote, he therefore cannot cut and run and stab our brave troops in the back.

A damn fine point.
