I was watching an interview with Krugman the other night and he said something that made me laugh; “The conservatives of today are same ones from 20 years ago, they are just getting caught more.”

Dear South Dakotans,

I was looking forward to asking South Dakotans to allow me to serve them for another term prior to my illness last December.  Since then, I have never once lost my desire to continue serving South Dakota, but I needed time to recover and regain my health in order to determine whether I could do the job and best serve our state.  After months of rehabilitation and recovery, more than a month on the job in Washington and after my recent trips back to South Dakota it is clear, to my family, my doctors, and me that I am able to do the hard work required of a United States Senator. I have said before that I wanted to take this second chance at life and focus even harder on being the best advocate I can for the people of South Dakota.  Today I am asking South Dakotans to give me the chance to give back to them by announcing that I will run for re-election in 2008.
 
Thank you for your continued support.
 
Sincerely,


Senator Tim Johnson
