His vegetative state has been upgraded from turnip to cucumber.

All kidding aside, I hope for his full recovery.

Yeah, from this article Johnson sounds in a bad way. Sure, his condition may improve, but it appears that improvement may be on a scale of years. Who knows if he will be able to walk, or what his communication will be, or if his intellect remains fully intact.

I really do hope the guy recovers, but at the same time I think there is collusion going on with the Dems scheming on how to maintain political power in spite of the circumstances.

I would like to believe that most families under similar circumstances would care less about politics and resign so that their father could focus solely on recovery. Further, unless some health insurance benefit is a factor,it seems like a selfish move to cling to this senate seat knowing that Sen. Johnson looks to be incapacitated for quite a while. Four weeks after the incident and he is still on a respirator indicates a long, long way to go before some unknown recovery point.
