Senator Tom Daschle

Hampshire, Kentucky, Iowa, and South Dakota. In the presidential race,
only Kentucky was in doubt; I was well ahead in all the others except
South Dakota, where I expected the
Republicans to co'Michael Jackson paintings'

go to these states because I thought

Paul Patton,
and our Senate candidate, Steve Beshear. I knew it was going to be
tough to hold Kentucky
was Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where Democratic congressman Tim
Johnson had a real chance to unseat incumbent Republican Larry
Pressler. Both Johnson and

election in some states, while

e rest of
it was worth two or three points off my vote total to elect more
Democrats to the Senate, anthe candidates in six of the seven states
had helped me in ��92 or in the Congress. On Sunday, November 3, after
attending services at St. Paul��s AME Church in Tampa, I flewto New
Hampshire to support our Senate candidate, Dick Swett; to Cleveland,
where Mayor Mike White and Senator John Glenn gave me a last-minute
boost; and to Lexington, Kentucky, f
because of the tobacco issue, and 'Animal oil painting'
(http://www.oilpaintingscn.com/animal-oil-painting-872.html),I was
heartened by the presence on the stage of the University of Kentucky
basketball coach, Rick Pitino. In a state where everyone loved the
basketball team and nearly half of them disliked me, Pitino��s presence
was helpful and a gutsy move on his part.
By the time I got to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it was 8 p.m. I really wanted
to be there for Tom Harkin, who was in a tight race for reelection. Tom
had strongly supported me in the Senate,and after the ��92 primary he
and his wife, Ruth, a lawyer who was serving with the administration,
had become close friends of mine. The last stop of the night
his chief supporter, Senator Tom Daschle, had been very good to me. As
Senate minority leader, Daschle had been invaluable to the White House
during the budget fights and the shutdown; when he asked me to come to
South Dakota, I couldn��t say no. It was nearly midnight when I got up
in the Sioux Falls Arena and Convention Center to speak ��at the last
rally of the last campaign I will ever run.�� Because it was my final
spgave them the whole load on the record, the budget fight, and what I
wanted to do for the nefour years. Since I was in a rural state like
Arkansas, I told them a joke. I said the Republicans�� budget reminded
me of the story of a politician who wanted to ask a farmer to vote for
him but was reluctant to come into his yard because a barking dog was
there. politician asked the farmer, ��Does your dog bite?�� ��No,�� the
farm
your dog didn��t bite!�� he shouted. The farmer replied, ��Son, that
ain��t my dog.�� The budget was their dog. The election went as Mark
Penn predicted: there was a record low turnout, and I won 49 to
41percent. The electoral 'Floral oil painting'

379 to 159, as I lost three states I had carried in 1992, Montana,
Colorado, and Georgia, and won two new ones, Arizona and Florida, for a
net gain of nine electoral votes. Underneath the aggregate numbers,
subtle differences in the st
more traditional economic and social matters dominated in others. All
competitive electionsare determined by such shifts, and in'Landscape

they told me a lot about what mattered to differengroups of Americans.
For example, in Pennsylvania, a state with many NRA members and
pro-life voters, my winning percentage was the same as it had been in
1992, thanks to a biggmargin in Philadelphia and a strong vote in
Pittsburgh, while my vote went down in th
