The AP reports:

Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota suffered a possible  
stroke Wednesday
and was taken to a hospital, his office said.


If he should be unable to continue to serve, it could halt the scheduled
Democratic takeover of the Senate. Democrats won a 51-49 majority in the
November election.


South Dakota's governor, who would appoint any temporary replacement,  
is a
Republican.
