US Democrat has brain operation
(BBC) Democratic control of the US Senate has been cast into doubt after a senator underwent brain surgery.
Senator Tim Johnson, 59, of South Dakota, suffered from bleeding on the brain, a US Capitol doctor said, describing the surgery as successful.
The Democrats captured control of the upper house of Congress by a single seat in elections last month.
If Mr Johnson stands down, the Republican governor of South Dakota will name his successor. That person - likely to be a Republican - would serve until the next general election in 2008.
Comments? Myself, I love to see Democracy in action.
