Despite Illness, Sen. Johnson Hauls In $600,000 In Campaign Funds
Sen. Tim Johnson may still be recovering from emergency brain surgery, but that hasn't prevented his campaign from announcing today that it had hauled in some $600,000 in the last quarter.
The ailing Senator's tally comes mostly from the help of colleagues, who have helped him pull in a total of $1.3 million this year, leaving him with $1.8 million cash on hand.
Johnson is expected to be a top target of the GOP this year. But the only candidate to make serious noises about challenging him, State Rep. Joel Dykstra, isn't seen as a first-tier candidate and has something of a history of making, shall we say, impolitic remarks about the true meaning of the word "rape."

Good for Johnson. He isnt out of the woods yet but considering him and Landrieu are the best shots for the wingers with no viable opposing candidates, I'll take it. I dont see either of them losing. I see us picking up NH, MN, OR, CO, NC.
Close races will be in AK, KY, VA, TX, NM, and ME.
Instead of being the lynchpin on every vote, Joe Lieberman will be irrelevant to Democrats after the next two election cycles.
