In Republican John Thune`s Senate race against Tom Daschle, Daschle seems to be in more trouble than he has known since 1978, when he pulled out a last-minute congressional victory. At home, Daschle runs television ads with a picture of a hug from President Bush; in Washington, he gave Michael Moore a congratulatory hug at the premiere of Moore`s anti-Bush movie Fahrenheit 9/11 (or so at least Moore told Time, though Daschle denies the embrace). The opposition to Daschle has been making much of this trope of the "two Daschles."
