Ho-lee CRAP! I cannot begin to tell you all how happy this makes me! Johnson really has been a GOP stalwart for a long time, and it just delights the heck outta me to see him go away in a year when he is (probably*) facing an honest to gosh progressive Dem Dr. David Gill!!! Go David!!!!!!!

* It was a very close Primary and the vote totals are not certified yet. It is theoretically possible that the other Dem could still win. I'm rooting for David all the way. I've known him for years and really he is one of the honest to gosh "good guys."
