Frank O'Bannon  

According to the Indianapolis Star (I actually just found the link over at Cooped Up), Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon had a cerebral hemhorrage this morning while attending a conference here in Chicago. He's being operated on right now at Northwestern Memorial Hospital downtown. The transfer of power to Lt Governor Joe Kernan may already have been set in motion, which is ironic because Kernan recently opted not to pursue O'Bannon's job in 2004. More on that later... I can't write any more just now. Oddly enough, I'm headed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital to meet my friend, who's a doctor there.
