| Description | PARIS (AFP) - Tom Daschle, a former US senator who lost his seat last year, told AFP that he was undecided about whether to run as a candidate in 2008 presidential elections that will decide who will succeed George W. Bush.
"I haven't made any decision about my political future," he said during a visit to Paris when asked specifically about his plans regarding the presidency.
"My hope is to make as much of a contribution for my party over the next couple of years as I can," he said.
Daschle, who used to be the leader of the Democrats in the US senate before being narrowly beaten by a Republican in the November 2004 election in his home state of South Dakota, said he was making a week-long European trip taking in Britain, France and Germany in his capacity as a member of a US law firm trying to drum up business. |
