Tim Johnson Says He'll Run For Re-Election
Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD), who has been out of action in the Senate since his near-fatal brain hemorrhage in December, will say in an upcoming interview on ABC News that he is determined "not only to return to the Senate next week, but to seek re-election in 2008," according to an ABC press release. So there you have it: Tim Johnson will run for his seat again next year.
Meanwhile, Johnson is greeting voters back home in South Dakota at an event later this afternoon, the state's local press is reporting. It's his first visit back to his home state since his near-death experience. And interestingly, a lot of Republican elected officials are there to welcome him home — including Governor Mike Rounds, who would be the strongest possible challenger to Johnson if he were to run.
Thank God he's back. He's been missing all the fun. First step should be to slap Lieberman across the face for praying he wouldn't return.

There is gladness in my house that he is recovering and becoming active politically once again.

If Senator Johnson recovers sufficiently, it will be wonderful to have somebody to counteract the noisome influence of that nasty little bug Joe Lieberman, who is nothing more that a Republican in disguise. Golly, he's a disgusting little twerp! How could the people of Connecticut be so dim?

Have been in meditation three times daily for him since asked by Sen Reid.
