I have been watching this race closely since Tom Daschel seemed to fall off the face of the earth a few months ago, trying to keep a lower profile, in a State where Bush has a 57% approval rating.

This will be a close race, but as many experts have predicted, Daschel may just end up losing this one, and has a tough fight on his hands. I wish I could see the actual goings on in the race, but I did see Thune and Daschel debate on Meet the Press, where Thune did corner Daschel on a number of issues, to which Daschel had some decent responses. Overall, a pretty good debate. I dont know who won in my opinion though.

I dont know enough about Thune. Can anyone from the area that knows about him fill me in a little?

This is one of the better sites for polls, as they do a daily tracking, and you dont see the swings like you do in the other polls such as Gallup, Zogby, Pew, Time, Newsweek, etc. I dont know if it is any more accurate, but the margins are usually much tighter than the other polls.
