An Update on Senator Johnson – The Caucus – Politics – New York Times Blog

From my conversations with the doctors and based on the progress he has been making, I feel very confident that he is going to be getting back to work sooner rather than later. 

I've been watching this story out of the corner of my eye since it first broke – didn't want to jinx myself by blathering on without knowing too much.

How unbloggerlike of me.

Anyway, I hope Sen. Johnson continues to make progress. It's ironic that for the moment, the hopes of progressives are pinned on one very ill man who up until now hasn't made much of an impact on the national consciousness in his political career up til now.

UPDATE: forgot to blockquote the first paragraph, making it appear as if I had been calling Sen. Johnson's doctors personally.
