Teddy's OK. For Now...

It seems Ted Kennedy, who was hospitalised over the weekend in apparently serious condition after what seems to have been a seizure, is doing all right for the moment. He's been talking and joking with his family. But he's still in hospital.

I have to say, when I first saw that he was rushed to the hospital with what was then suspected to be a stroke, my heart stopped. I was born and raised in Massachusetts, and Teddy is like... I don't know. Like clear drinking water - you always take for granted that he'll be around when you need him. But he's 76 years old - though he seems a lot younger.

I think he deserves to see Barack Obama elected in November and to live out his presidency, after all he's done Barack and for the country. We're pulling for you Teddy!
