Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) suffered what looked like a stroke while giving an interview. He was taken to the hospital, where he was placed under intensive care. He had emergency brain surgery that night. If he is unable to serve, the governor of South Dakota, Republican Mike Rounds, will appoint the next senator. If Rounds was to appoint a republican, it would tie the senate and (because of vice president Cheney) effectively hand it back to the republicans.
