Kucinich Hospitalized

[illinoisprogressive]

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich remains hospitalized Wednesday in Ohio after aides say he suffered a severe case of food poisoning.

Kucinich spokesman Andy Juniewicz said the Ohio congressman started feeling ill Sunday before flying to Florida for a campaign appearance. He became sicker in Florida, and was forced to cut the trip short to return to Cleveland.

Juniewicz said he was admitted to a Cleveland-area hospital Monday afternoon, and is being treated for “severe symptoms consistent with food poisoning.”

He said Kucinich was improving, but may remain in the hospital another day or two.

Juniewicz said Kucinich missed votes in the House Monday and Tuesday, but did not have any campaign appearances scheduled. His next planned event is this weekend.

1. Hurry and get well our Patriot

You are the greatest!

[DS1]

2. Get well, Denny!

[Ethelk2044]

3. Hope he gets well soon

[Captain Hilts]

4. Wow! I've had that mega intestinal virus and it's NO FUN...get well, Dennis!

[Catchawave]

6. Me too, I wanted to "die".....get well Dennis!!

P.S. Do we know what he ate? Mine was a near fatal "Big Mac Attack" ... literally.

[Silver Gaia]

20. Yeah, I had it, too, once long ago when I was 7 months pregnant.

NOT a good time. I also ended up in the hospital for about 10 days. ugh

GET WELL, Dennis! We need your voice.

[Purveyor]

5. Well just damn. They call the campaign trail the 'rubber chicken circuit' , perhaps

the Sunday chicken wasn't so 'rubber' but raw.

Gotta be careful out their Dennis.

Get to feeling better soon!!!

[colorado thinker]

7. Couldn't have been chicken

Isn't he a vegan?

[momster]

13. Badly Washed Veggies

sounds like it to me. Not everybody's careful, you know, even in big or famous restaurants. If somebody thought something had been washed, and it hadn't, or wasn't washed carefully enough, vegetarians can get sick too.

Restaurants may have signs up everywhere saying that employees have to wash their hands...but who's checking? I've seen many employees walk out of stalls and out the door without washing...followed by me walking out of the restaurant!

[Silver Gaia]

22. I was a vegetarian when I got it, too. Never did pin down what

it was... they thought maybe some tainted yogurt I ate (if he's vegan, that wouldn't be it, tho), or maybe even bad water. Could be what you suggest, momster.

8. Oh shit!!

Get well Dennis!

:loveya:

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Must Have Gone To Dunkin' Donuts

It's co-owned by the respective financial conglomerates of the Bush's and the Romney's. Definitely not Democrat-safe. They probably put plague in Kucinich's chocolate glazed.

10. Tinfoil statement. Hmmmm. n/t

Hmmmm...

[bunnies]

16. Tinfoil statement? Gimme a fucking break.

Food poisoning has nothing to do with tinfoil. Hell... I know two people hospitalized for food poisoning in the last month.

Guess they must be conspiracy theorists. :eyes:

[CK_John]

17. I was thinking more of an ulser. worrying about things to come. n/t

[bunnies]

18. ahhh. makes more sense that way.

:toast:

[CK_John]

19. I also don't believe it will be good news. n/t

[zulchzulu]

12. All the best to Dennis to get well soon!

I hope he's alright.

[democratsin08]

14. pray for him

lets all pray for his swift recovery!!

[dweller]

15. what a guy, get back up!

21. Did Senator Clinton send him some cookies?

:popcorn:

23. Completely uncalled for.

Completely. Uncalled. For.

God I love Democrats.

:sarcasm:

Bake

24. I had a couple of bouts of mild food poisoning in the last

couple of weeks that I think came from raw fruit. With all the food we are importing with practically oversight anymore, better look for more. I have started soaking everything with a rind in bleach water and cooking everything else. I don't trust it. I started reading food labels really carefully and even once trustworthy brands like Del Monte are being canned and processed in China. ??? :wtf:

[blm]

25. This Dem heart is with you Dennis.
