AMES, Iowa (AP) - A campaign spokesman says the wife of GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul was hospitalized today (Saturday) with an irregular heartbeat.

Carol Paul became ill on Saturday morning and was taken to an area hospital, says Jesse Benton, a Paul spokesman.

A Republican congressman from Texas, Paul was delayed in arriving at the high profile Republican straw poll in Ames today (Saturday) in order to stay with his wife.

Benton told The Associated Press that Mrs. Paul was recovering at hospital in Des Moines from a heart condition that causes her heart rate to get very low.

Benton says Mrs. Paul could be released as early as this (Saturday) evening.

Sounds like the same problem my brother-in-law had. He ended up with a pacemaker.

My heart felt prayers offered up.

Despite my differences he is a good man and he has a blessed wife. In the final analysis that’s what counts above all.

I think you’ll find that most of us like Ron Paul and agree with him on many issues aside from the ones we disagree with him on.

Here’s hoping the best for the Paul family. Despite some strong differences, I’m proud to have met Dr. Paul and supported his House campaigns in the past.
