Tim Johnson Will Run For Reelection
It's official: Despite emergency brain surgery earlier this year, Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) will run for reelection.
“After months of rehabilitation and recovery, more than a month on the job in Washington and after my recent trips back to South Dakota it is clear, to my family, my doctors, and me that I am able to do the hard work required of a United States Senator,” Johnson said in a statement released today. “Today I am asking South Dakotans to give me the chance to give back to them by announcing that I will run for re-election in 2008.”
With Johnson facing no top-tier GOP opponent, that's one less thing for Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer to worry about.

Good for the Senator. It takes guts to continue the fight.

This is one of only two vulnerable seats for Democrats next year. Check out these newly-updated Senate Rankings! SD is ranked very low.

Please don't get your hopes up. Other than another Democrat as far as numbers are concerned he still votes Republican on progressive issues. He and our Congresswoman are classic DINOs. Now before I get flamed let me say that wasting our time, and money, on DINOs is the root cause of our failures since taking control of Congress. I would rather spend any effort getting true Democrats elected.

how long will his republican opponent wait before he/she drops subtle hints that there should be some doubts concerning Sen. Johnson's intellectual functioning. Not long, I bet. And once the repub gets desperate, subtlety goes out the window!

"Fired US Atty McKay: Gonzales may face prosecution."
If convicted, bush will pardon.
Its a sad, bad situation.
