It is more than a shame that all the Network News reports are MORE concerned with the Democrats keeping their Senate Majority than with the recovery and health of Sen. Johnson.

watching what news reports are concerned with.Makes it easy to avoid such "sickly" scribes.
It'll be like Strom Thurmand in his last term or 2.
I heard ABC Radio News's report about Harry Reid coming from Johnson's hospital room refusing to give any details of Johnson's condition, like was he awake, was he cognizant of his surroundings?
Rush made a comment about Reid and the Democrats will keep Johnson on a respirator for 2 years if they have to in order to maintain their majority. [Insert Weekend at Bernie's remarks here.[
As much as I'd like to see this seat flipped, and it would be ironic after Former SD Senator Daschle flipped a GOP seat (Jeffords) to gain the majority that a SD Senate seat takes away the majority from the Democrats, I do not like the Media's conduct, and especially Harry Reid's conduct.
I have a question for all you ethical Libs: Will there be any Democrats decrying keeping Johnson in a persistent vegetative state on life support as they did with Terry Schiavo?
good question
