Tim Johnson Still Bringing In Donations
Senator Tim Johnson — who has been on the sidelines since being treated for a stroke last December — has still been able to see money flowing to his campaign coffers, the Associated Press reports, seeing over $660,000 in contributions coming in. Johnson's office told the AP that a lot of it has come from the help of his fellow Senators, over 30 of whom have done fundraising for Johnson as he mulls whether or not to run again in 2008. The money is about even with Johnson's fundraising pace in his last cycle, with a relatively low amount of money needed for campaigning in his small Western state.
Meanwhile, his former South Dakota colleague Tom Daschle is making his own comeback as a key advisor to Barack Obama's campaign, according to MSNBC. Johnson has joined Daschle in endorsing Obama's candidacy, and Daschle is busy helping to line up money and support for the campaign.
