While South Dakota’s senior senator, Democrat Tim Johnson, prepares to meet with Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, our junior senator is a lead voice for the GOP saying Judge Sotomayor isn’t providing his party with much juice when it comes to stirring up the rank-and-file or raising money.

John Thune tells Politico:

She doesn’t have the punch out there in terms of fundraising and recruiting, I think — at least so far.

…

When one of the conservatives leaves the court, then I think you’ll have a huge fight, and I think that will be very galvanizing.

Any predictions on which conservative might be leaving next - and when?
