Roll Call (subscription required):

Former Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle (S.D.) is juggling several titles these days, but he is devoting a large chunk of his time to just one job -- assisting Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in his quest to win the Democratic presidential nod.

Daschle, defeated for re-election in 2004 while serving as Minority Leader, endorsed the Illinois Senator in February.

Since that time, the one-time party leader has busied himself in the effort -- both publicly and behind the scenes -- serving as fundraiser, coalition builder, staff recruiter and traveling surrogate.

Based on Daschle's record, one is tempted to conclude that Obama is doomed.
