Daschle leaving convention early

Top Senate Democrat Tom Daschle will not be at the Democratic Convention when John Kerry accepts the presidential nomination later this month. Instead he will be at home in South Dakota. The Washington Post reports that some Democrats feel Daschle is leaving the convention early to avoid posing on stage with Kerry and Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, two of the most liberal members of the party. Daschle faces a stiff re-election challenge from Republican congressman John Thune, who has often called the Senate minority leader too liberal to represent South Dakota. But Daschle's spokesman denies he is trying to avoid appearing with Kerry and says he merely wants to spend an extra day campaigning.

I don't blame Mr. Daschle, I would not want to pose with those two either!
