News of Democratic Senator Tim Johnson's possible stroke quickly sent political pundits into playing what if. What if the Senator died? What if the Senator had to resign? What if?
If the Democratic Senator from South Dakota died than Suth Dakota's Republican governor, Mike Rounds, would appoint a replacement to serve until the 2008 election. Governor Rounds would likely appoint a Republican. The Democrats won a 51-49 majority in the November election. If the Senate is split 50-50, the vice president breaks ties. That is Republican Dick Cheney at present.
If Senator Tim Johnson passed away from this possible stroke or any other problem. Than Republicans and America would be a heartbeat away from a better Senate and a better Nation.
