No specifics, but apparently Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) has suffered a stroke. Hopefully it's a minor one and he'll continue to represent South Dakota in the Senate.
But, in the event of a tragedy, I don't trust Mike Rounds any further than I can throw him (and with my bad knee, I shouldn't be throwing anybody). So we want to apply pressure on him right away to pledge to appoint a Democrat to the seat should Tim Johnson be unable to continue to serve.
Out of decency, not only should Rounds appoint a Democrat, but he should also do so to maintain the new balance in the Senate.
He should also appoint someone with experience.
May I suggest Tom Daschle?

Please, not Tom Daschle!!!
You are such a complete douchebag.
You are the same fuckers that...
...couldn't wait for Strom to die
...thought it was okay when Lautenberg changed the rules (via liberal court) to get on ballot
...thought it was okay for the liberal legislature to strip the governor of Massachusettes the power to appoint replacement senators. Why? Because governor was republican and Kerry might have vacated the seat (if he won POTUS...yeah right).
Fuck you sideways. Senate will be GOP shortly.
why not advocate that all governors pledge to replace senators with people of the senators' party? if you believe in your own rhetoric, you should want this rule applied to both parties. but you probably don't.
Just Gov. Barnes (D) did in GA appointing Sen. Miller (D). Just like Gov. Casey (D) did in PA appointing Sen. Wolford (D). Just like Gov. Ventura (I) did in MN appointing somebody no one remembers (I).
So you're whole site is based on the idea that Gov. Rounds should stop following precedent and do something no one else has done because... why? Oh because you will come him bad names if he doesn't do it your way.
Gov. Rounds won 61% of the vote in SD in November. I think he is secure enough in his seat that your name calling isn't going to change his mind.
