KerrySpot says he's in the hospital in serious condition but the tube is saying that he'll be back on November 1st...sounds like he isn't in as bad a shape as the NRO report seemed to state.

I like Rehnquist. He's a good man. Hope things go well for him.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Chief Justice William Rehnquist has undergone throat surgery after a diagnosis of thyroid cancer, but is expected to be released from the hospital this week, according the Supreme Court.

Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said the 80-year old chief justice was admitted to the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland, on Friday, and underwent a tracheotomy Saturday.

Arberg said he is expected to be released from the hospital this week, and to be back on the bench when court arguments resume next week.

I wonder if this will make the supreme court appointments more of an issue for any voters. Doubtful as most people have hardened their stance. OTOH, there might be some former single issue voters who have sided based upon Iraq (or are likely to stay home) that are given reason to reconsider their position.
