Johanns Resigns From Cabinet — Gearing Up For Senate Run
It's official: Mike Johanns has resigned as President Bush's secretary of agriculture, paving the way for him to run for Senate back home in Nebraska.
"He would make an outstanding member of the United States Senate and there is no doubt in my mind," President Bush said at the announcement this morning.
The Nebraska Senate race could end up being a top-tier contest next year, potentially pitting Johanns, a popular former governor, against former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey.

Johanns has essentially salvaged the GOP's chances here.

It's nearly impossible to win in an open seat down ticket from the 40 point bloodbath that Hillary would create...even if you're popular like Bob Kerrey. I suspect he will pass on this race if he has any sense.
