Tim Johnson in critical condition.

We are going to take a place in this blog to ask viwers go pray for the health and well being of Senator Tim Johnson who yesterday suffered stroke like symptoms and is in critical condition. We also ask for prayer for his family and all of the thoughts here at Politics-Central go out to them. If Johnson does step down the decision of his replacement going to Republican Governor Mike Rounds who would likely select a Republican shifting control of the senate to a 50/50 tie and since Vice President Dick Cheney make the tie votes the control of the senate would go back to the Republicans. I do want the republicans to take back the senate but not by death or by a resignation. The voters have spoken and they wanted change so the Democrats should hold on to control of the senate. The GOP shouldn't try to get back the senate by Johnson's illness but should try and get in back in 2008.
