Johnson suffers stroke

This story is unfortunate for a number of reasons. First, because of the very real effect this could have on U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) and his family. But also because it could lead to Sen. Johnson’s resignation from the Senate — putting the responsibility for appointing a successor in the hands of the state’s Republican governor. That means that the Democrats’ one-seat majority could disappear, nullifying the public’s repudiation of the GOP majority.
