Today, South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson announced in an email to supporters his intention to run for re-election. The GOP can now officially scratch that as a chance for a pick-up in 2008.
What's worse for the GOP is that an established tabloid like National Journal didn't even have South Dakota on its list of top ten seats to begin with. The list is here. It includes nine Republican seats (AK, CO, ME, MN, NE, NH, NM, OR and VA), and just one Democratic seat (LA).
How's that for saying something? Johnson beat John Thune by 524 votes in 2002 and now isn't even considered vulnerable.
My, my, how the GOP empire has crumbled.
