Get with the program. The "narrow loser" to Johnson in Johnson's last election, is John Thune, who is now in the Senate on his own. There is no requirement that a Governor in appointing a new Senator to fill a vacancy, appoint any particular person for any particular reason.

Look for example at Governor Corzine's appointment of Rep, Menendez, a fellow Democrat crook, to the Senate. The rule of politics is to win, and then hold office. It's as simple as that.

Yep.. In my state, when Republican Senator John Heinz was killed in a helicopter crash, Democrat Governor Bob Casey appointed liberal Democrat Harrison Wofford to fill the vacancy. Nobody expected anything different.
