To Republicans and Democrats alike: Assuming a Democrat has the inside track in 2008 because of national circumstances and because of South Dakota's history of preferring Democrats in Congress during the past quarter century, is there any Democrat you REALLY would prefer over Tim Johnson as senator?
PP, might make for an intersting stand-alone topic.
"pelosi, reid, liberals, etc."
Good enough for me, I saw the pictures. He must be fine.
Oh, never mind... I just re-read the posts on this blog. Anons 7:24 and 7:51 for example. I forgot, you can't polish turds
how can you tell that from the pictures? do yours convert to video?
That has nothing to do with being honest with the voters about his condition. It has nothing to do with the fact that he is our employee and should be up front with his employer (us) about his true functioning and ability to run next time. It's past time to even think that he would resign if unable to perform his job, and it would never happen anyway even if he wanted to. Dems wouldn't let him.
you don't know when you don't?
Healing from a stroke like that takes time.
His are some big shoes to fill. He's 3 times as good as anyone else we could put in that seat right now. Democrat or Republican (with one possible exception.)
So even if he's only half way back to full operating power, we're still in good shape. And getting better all the time.
Let's stop all the hand wringing, fold them instead, and keep praying that Tim gets better.
Thanks for your kind reply, by the way.
It's obvious that they are just trying to buy time, and hold any republican back from declaring his or her canidacy, and going to work.
The plan is keep the republicans quiet long enough that Steffy has basically no opposition when she makes her sad announcement that since Sen. Johnson is unable to run, she will step in for him.
The voters will be smart enough to see what just happened, and will react accordingly.
