Daschle's defeat could reduce farmers' clout  view story

South Dakota voters replaced the Senate Democratic leader with a member of the majority party, but it's unclear if Tom Daschle's loss bodes well for other Plains states and their rural residents.
While Sen.-elect John Thune is also expected to be a player in farm-state issues, Daschle's position as minority leader allowed him to insert provisions into bills and highlight issues, such as country-of-origin labeling, that otherwise might have been omitted.
