The AP’s Mike Glover must have been desperate to find a quote to contribute to this story.

Former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle said Saturday that President Bush’s presidency “is essentially over” but warned that Democrats can’t count solely on Republican troubles to win in the next election.

“I don’t think it’s enough for us to watch the Republicans self-destruct,” Daschle said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I think it’s important for us to set forth some ideas that give the party an opportunity to define itself and to contrast with Republicans.”

Apparently, all of the other washed up Democrats were busy this weekend.
