<p>WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle said Tuesday he will not run for president, saying his passion "lies here in the Senate" and leaving the field to a handful of aspirants ....
"After careful reflection, I've concluded that at this moment in our history, with so many important decisions to be made about our nation's future," Daschle said in a statement released by his Capitol Hill office. <p>***Wags suggested that Daschle's habit of not finishing what he starts would have hampered a campaign for president.***<p>[ January 07, 2003: Message edited by: blanp ]</p>
