Thune Vs Dashle

Judging by the saturation level of Thune and Daschle ads here in South Dakota, things are pretty competitive. Amusingly, Dashle advertising steers way clear of criticizing Bush (one even goes so far as to align Dashle with the president) while some of the Thune ads use footage of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and Daschle doing just that.

Apparently, everyone running for the South Dakota senate seat is a Republican.

Not quite sure why Daschle bought ad time during the ALCS on FOX, but I was somewhat surprised to see his snarfling on my TV in Sarasota, FL.

The snowbirds haven't flown south yet, so it couldn't possibly have been aimed at them. Maybe they had to buy nationwide?

This might have something to do with it:

"RVer votes could affect S.D. election
By Carson Walker, Associated Press Writer

EMERY — The general election isn't until Nov. 2, but South Dakota residents can start voting absentee today.

And two of those ballots will come from Frank and Patsy Norton, RVers who call South Dakota home but travel the country and live in campgrounds or wherever else the road leads them.

These roving voters concern some county auditors, who wonder if their absentee ballots could sway close races such as the U.S. Senate contest between Democratic Sen. Tom Daschle and Republican John Thune..."
