A whole host of rotten thoughts are in my head surrounding Sen. Johnson. Not because this tragedy has befallen him, but for what the Dims can do, and just dare us to malign a handicapped senator.

When is Sen. Johnson's term up?

I'll go and try to answer my own questions, but FreepeRs are usually quicker and more exact than I.
