Daschle makes his farewell from floor

WASHINGTON - Tom Daschle bade his fellow Senate Democrats farewell Tuesday with a plea that they seek common ground with Republicans yet continue to fight for the less fortunate.
The South Dakota Democrat, narrowly defeated by Republican John Thune in a bid for a fourth term, kept a low public profile on Tuesday. He spoke only briefly on the Senate floor, making perfunctory remarks about the week's legislative calendar. He plans a public farewell on Friday.
"Saying goodbye to Tom Daschle is a very sentimental thing for all of us," said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.
