Ummmm, Tom. The reason you lost is because folks didn't agree you.
By the way, who was threatening you, and why didn't you report all this before the election. Sound like the pressure has gotten to you. Perhaps you should resign. I know a nice Republican South Dakotan who would be perfect for the job, and wouldn't be all worried and distressed like you are these days.
