Comments on: Senator Stricken With Undiagnosed Illness

Senate Balance Of Power Could Shift If Tim Johnson, Democrat, Can't Return To Work

[ectophile-2009]

Has anyone checked the Senator's office for traces of Polonium? I would not put anything past these outlaws in the administration, who have already stolen the presidency, taken away our civil liberties, and started a war with lies. It is disappointing that Katie did not lead off with this story, nor give it a higher priority. My thoughts and wishes for a complete recovery go out to Senator Johnson and his family.

I don't claim to have all the answers, but I am baffled by some of the blogging in the name of Senator Tim Johnson. What does Gore, Obama, and Clinton have to do with the Honorable Tim Johnson's condition? Rather than going off in what are sometimes nothing but asinine tangents and unsubstantiable opinions we need to wish and pray for this man for his very best, but be prepared for the worst. As is, there does not seem to be any conclusions by the medical staff that Senator Johnson will suffer any permanent damage. Let's form our opinions on the solid evidence we presently have. If for some reason Senator Johnson can not continue in his duties, then we must be reminded that the United States Constitution has provided for the proper handling of the circumstance and it is on that basis any replacement is decided.

"If I was a betting man I'd say it was the CIA on orders from Cheney to keep paranoia ramped up even further after 9-11 and to help whip up more fear and more "reasons" to go to war. "

Good grief, talk about paranoia!

In response to the post by RandalDS, Gov. Rounds won reelection in Nov 2006 by about 80,000 votes. Sen. Johnson won reelection in 2002 by about 600. I am not sure if your use of "good margin" and "very slim margin" were assigned properly in this instance.

[trueprogress]

Didn't some member of congress of VT. change party some years ago, upsetting the balance of power, but that did not upset the media or the Democrats, who came our on top. ( Jumpin Jim Jeffers ?)
Personally, I think they should abide by the wishes of the people when elected, and not by personal choice or party of the govenor, unless he/she wants to appoint me, as I am availble, and will make my own coffee and promise not to hit any of the security guards if they do not recognise me .

Seriously, we all wish the best for the Senator and his family.

Who did the Anthrax attacks of 2001?

America is nowhere near a Free Country.

I'm not surprised to see someone killed for standing in the way of the Republinazis power.

we are on the same side indeed. I hope Al runs too, but I have to admit I have my doubts. If Hilliary gets the nomination of course I'll support her, but I'm not supporting her in the primaries because I think she's pandering to the right too much. Hey, how about a Gore/Obama ticket! Now that I could get excited about!

[themooniac]

well at least were on the same side of the aisle. I hope the guy recovers as well but it does'nt look good. As far as republican power grabs I've learned to expect the worst. I personally asked Gore two months ago at An Inconvient Truth showing/signing if he was running and he said no but I still expect him to pull a Bobby Kennedy and come out at the last minute in early 08.

[randalds]

Well I disagree. I don't think it'll happen that way, but we'll see if it comes down to it. personally I hope he makes a complete recovery and makes the whole thing moot.

As for 2008, I would support Gore with no problems, but I'm still hoping for an Edwards/Obama or Obama/Edwards ticket.

[themooniac]

not with the control of the Senate at stake. Everyone know how short the American electorates' memory is, two years from now this will all be forgotten, swept under the rug. Besides that Giuliani and Mcain are more viable candidtaes for prez in 2008 than Hillary and Obama. Really I hope Al comes back in 2008, I think he's a democratic slam dunk having been elected already. He's vastly more populary accepted now than he was in 2000.

[randalds]

Not at all, unless the Republicans are going to offer him an obvious bribe and that's not likely with all of America watching. the republicans power is fading fast with the voters and even they know that there are more elections coming up in 2008. They need to keep their collective nones clean if they want to have a prayer in 2008 and will desert the president and the higher ups in the party in droves if they smell the stink of one more scandal.

[themooniac]

Appointing a Republican to take Johnson's place, political suicide? This guy will have all kinds of republican buddies starting tonight. The Republican party could'nt care less about public opinion. Come on now, do you really think the governor is going to appoint a Dem? If you do you are in denial.

[randalds]

I agree with SamTheTVCat. The people of South Dakota elected a democrat for Senator by a good margin and a republican governor by a very slim margin. It'd be political suicide for him to appoint a republican in Johnson's place. He'd at least never hold another elected office in S.D. Of course stranger things have happend and the republicans might get him to fall on his political sword for the party. Or wish him the best of health and hopes that he doesn't have a stroke too.

Naw, cdlkbwolf, we know you guys are too dumb to conspire on anything. Neo-cons are just goose-stepping fad-followers, terrified of the responsibility that real freedom necessitates. Incidentally, it's a touch loathsome to be chortling over a man's illness, but that's about what we expect from people who are represented by Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.

P.S. Sorry for the big words.

[samthetvcat]

I'm not worried about Democrats losing control of the House - it sounds like this Republican governor is fully aware of the fact that thwarting the will of the public by appointing a Republican replacement would earn him the ire of the majority of the nation much like Katherine Harris' moves did in 2000. No politician wants to be seen in that kind of a light - it tends to leave a bad taste in peoples' mouths. I mean I don't know, but it would seem to me like this governor's best move politically would be to remain uninvolved for as long as he can, hence the quote "we are hopeful of good news for our friend and colleague" Yeah, I'll be you are! lol
