South Dakota is a very Republican state.

That explains why we are talking about a Republican Senator who won by a very large margin because South Dakota, is, as you say, a "very Republican state".

Oh wait, we are talking about a Democrat Senator who's been in office for a decade.

South Dakota isn't a very republican state? If Michael Rounds appointed a Republican, the election would take place in 2008 -- a presidential year.

Congrats on being ignorant. He was elected senator in 2002 -- 4 years ago.

I was in Sd when he came into ofice. He won because there were hundreds of Colorado students bussed to the reservations who voted dem! They laughed about it. Thune should have won when he ran again but he didn't fight the frau.

South Dakota voted for Bush 60-39. Senator Johnson is more conservative than a lot of Republican senators. His son served in Iraq and the people of his state trust him. I wish him a swift and full recovery.
