Report:Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) suffers stroke

Breaking: It is being reported by MSNBC that South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson has suffered what "appears to have been a stroke"

Aside from the importance of a sitting US Senator suffering a significant health emergency the ramifications could be huge if this event proves to be incapacitating. The governor of South Dakota is a Republican who would apoint a Republican to replace Johnson. That would make the Senate 50-50 with Cheney breaking the tie thus giving the Republicans back control.

Will update when info is available.

Update: Senator Johnson is undergoing brain surgey. This would lead one to believe that the "event" that Johnson experienced was a aneurism and the surgery is being done to stop the bleeding. If my assumptions are correct it's an extremely serious situation.

One aside, It's curious how those who mocked President Bush for his strong faith in his higher power have themselves suddenly found God.

And the DU has wasted no time propagating their conspiratorial moonbattery....Poll : Did they try to "Wellstone" Tim Johnson?

Update II: "Johnson diagnosed w/congenital arteriovenous malformation" in his left brain.
