One gets the sense that John Thune and Tom Daschle will be squaring off in a nursing home someday. "The never-ending campaign" of 2004 for a pivotal Senate seat in South Dakota....may linger on yet more.
Could the duel play out on an even more prominent national stage this time around? It is possible, but only if you believe political rumor-monger Dave Kranz of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader. Kranz coins one of the more bizarre headlines of the week:
"Daschle might be Obama's Cheney"
Yes, some are speculating Barack Obama might opt for the politically seasoned Daschle as his Vice President pick. Given plenty of previous punditry suggesting John McCain may very well choose Thune for his number two man in the White House, we could have the following scenario in 2008's presidential campaign:
McCain-Thune v. Obama-Daschle.
Crazy? Yes. Implausible? Absolutely not.
Let the cosmic struggle continue.
