U.S. Rep. Patsy Mink's medical condition remained unchanged today, according to a Democratic Party official.

If she dies and gets re-elected, a special election will be held for her seat.
According to a "letter to the editor" of the Honolulu Advertiser, a teacher wished Mink well. He also thanked her for her visit to the elementary school where he teaches. Could this have been how this whole thing has started.
For all those interested, I have founded a fledgling group devoted solely to Patsy Mink's condition at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minkwatch/ .
Not one word in this posting extending sympathy to her family or constituents?
It seems some people are determined to reinforce the harsh opinions that others, such as the benighted souls at the Democratic Underground, wrongly have of all FReepers.
I'll do what you have declined to do: I send sympathies, as a three-year member of FreeRepublic, to the Mink family and her friends and constituents. Mahalo.
