8. I will remember ol Tommy

for his line in Fahrenheit 911:

"We will give the president all the power he needs..."

9. Seriously, what was he going to make his campaign about

"As senate MAJORITY leader, I cosponsored (not just passed) the IWR (his NAME was on the bill - technically called the Daschle-Lott bill), and passed the Patriot Act."

10. Didn't even know that was a possibility; anyway he'd have lost the primary by a mile

That being said, he may not be the world's greatest genius or anything, but I wish he was still a senator instead of that evil Christian-right bastard Thune. Any chance of him getting the boot any time soon?
