"This is personal but John Thune is somebody that I have nightmares about," says DNC executive director Jennifer O’Malley Dillon.  O’Malley Dillon has worked for Tim Johnson and Tom Daschle; both men were defeated by John Thune.  Thune ousted Tim Johnson in ’96 for a seat in the House of Representatives and in 2004 Thune unseated then Senate Minority Leader and Leader of the Senate Democrats, Tom Daschle.  The DNC director also noted of Thune: “He has his head down and is doing some policy stuff. [You] just got to start looking at him."  Thune is also running for re-election this year but has no Democrat or Republican challengers. (more)
