Senator Ron Johnson knew since 2011 about Assemblyman Kramer's Sexual Assault

Wow. We all knew that Johnson was doomed in 2016, but this sure doesn't help.

No, he's not "doomed" or anything, I don't know why people think this. That would be like saying Mary Landrieu is doomed in 2010.

Uh, we're not in 2010.

And Johnson is deeply unpopular, and he's in the Tea Party, which is quite a bit weaker than in say, Louisiana, and if Feingold runs in 2016, he's done.

While I wouldn't say he's doomed, but he's pretty screwed unless he can turn everything around by 2016, which is a tough task.

I agree with EG, it annoys me a lot to see people saying: "Johnson is doomed", "Kirk is doomed", "Heitkamp is doomed",...

Okay, present a way that Johnson is doing totally fine and is popular, and will win re election in 2016 regardless of a Feingold run. Entertain me.

Well, before this scandal, there was no obvious Democratic replacement for Feingold, Johnson's approval ratings were fine, and he was able to self-finance. After the scandal, who knows, but prior to this Johnson was definitely favored to be reelected.

Uh, there were polls taken long before this scandal, showing him being beaten by Feingold from a 7 to 10 point margin, that is not definitely favoured, and in December, his approvals were 28%, again, that's not fine.
