The lack of updates is perplexing. Many hours have passed. Surely they know something.
To: The Hound Passer
True, but you still have to be on the floor of the Senate to vote.50-49 Dem lead instead of a 51-49 Dem lead is still Dem control, unless Lieberman doesn't caucus. I doubt that he'd torpedo their control.
Not to mention that modern medicine is pretty amazing these days.

Maybe not a stroke. Could be caused by an bladder infection. But I would think that a stroke could not be ruled out so quickly. Time and a battery of diagnostic testing in a clinical setting will tell.

Unless he is in distress there will be nothing done till morning. Hospitals are businesses first and foremost. The docs go home at the end of the day.
Having first hand experience at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center I can assure you it's not for the convenience of the patient.

To: tapatio
I tell you what is troubling. It was reported that when he went back to his office, he could not spoke and could barely move. It was stated that tests would be taken and it would not be known until morning if he had a stroke. Then a few hours later, people are reassuring us that he did not have a stroke. How can they know if they doctors won't know until tomorrow morning?
To: OldFriend
I thought early medical intervention could reverse the effect of strokes. If they do nothing until the morning, it could mean many things. What some of them might likely be, I'm trying to figure.
To: rintense
Yep. Though perhaps the development of something like Parkinson's or something else might cause seizures or stroke-like symptoms. The speech and movement difficulties seem to be common to a lot of potential problems.

I heard the Hugh Hewitt show...and the same thing...I don't know if it was a different person or not..but I heard someone say a bad stroke...
But, now the thread is saying it wasn't a stroke or heart attack.
Remember...not too long ago, Harry Reid had a TIA, which is like a mini-stroke..maybe that is what he had.

To: Political Junkie Too
The point I was trying to make is that not resigning but not voting still gives control to the Democrats. Yes it does - but they can not have one defection (including Lieberman) or one guy like Kerry out campaigning in order to succeed on any given vote.

The recording is very revealing. He just came to a halt. It was beyond stuttering. He couldn't continue talking for awhile.

I was talking abstractly about Senate rules, not about today's news. I'm not ready to don a vulture mask just yet. I may not agree with Johnson's politics, but I don't wish him ill either.
To: WashingtonSource
Don't believe anything you hear early in a breaking story like this.

I'd imagine the Senator is currently receiving the best medical care available, no matter the time of day or night.
