SEN. TIM JOHNSON (D), SOUTH DAKOTA SENATE CANDIDATE: Thank you for joining us here this afternoon. Last night, obviously, was a long evening. It was a long campaign but now the final results are in, the ballots are all counted, the precincts are all counted, and it's time for us as South Dakotans to come together and move our state forward on an agenda that incorporates all South Dakotans. I want to thank so many that did so much to make this campaign a success. Obviously our campaign staff, the volunteers, our supporters in that way, Chris Burkey (ph), who I think needs to be singled out as a volunteer, the kind of person who was the last one here last night, and the first one back this morning. That kind of help has meant so much, and it's part of the reason why we wound up with this success this morning. I want to commend Congressman Thune and his family, his staff and his volunteers. I know that it's been a long and difficult campaign for them as well.</s>BROWN: Tim Johnson in South Dakota, in Sioux Falls this morning. A very narrow victory. And they'll count them up again. But for now, he can claim that he beat a considerable tide. The state was awash in political ads for months.
