EUGENE, Ore. -- Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) was transported by helicopter from Cape Cod Hospital to Massachusetts General Hospital this morning after an emergency call from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port. The Boston Globe is reporting that doctors believe Kennedy "suffered a seizure at his home in Hyannis Port this morning, then a second seizure as he was being transported by helicopter from Cape Cod Hospital."

"He is undergoing a battery of tests at Massachusetts General Hospital to determine the cause of the seizure," said his spokesperson, Stephanie Cutter. "Senator Kennedy is resting comfortably, and it is unlikely we will know anything more for the next 48 hours."

This is sad news for the democrat Party and Liberal politics generally. Hopefully he makes a full recovery.

I seriously doubt he'll be able to carry on his duties, even if he recovers. This is indeed bad news.

Looks like maybe not a stroke... in any case, let's hope for a speedy recovery.

Latest news is that it was a seizure. He called to cancel some dinner thing while at the hospital. Looks like a full recover.

If Ted Kennedy were to have a stroke or some other serious brain failure, how would anyone be able to tell the difference?

Don't be so tough on the guy. Just an accident while performing a bizzare auto erotic asphyxiation session. Could happen to anyone.
