Rudy Hospitalized
From C Cameron
Republican Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is feeling better, up and about, joking around and awaiting test results at the Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis tonight. Katie Levinson at the hospital tonight at 2:03 eastern time says they are just awaiting test results and may leave tonight.
He had a headache and felt poorly. On the plane out of Chesterfield earlier tonight he decided to turn around and get to a hospital. The plane was out of commission all day and rather than fly to events, Giuliani traveled across Missouri by motorcade to three fundraisers and two additional campaign events.
He has no history of such things. Levinson called Giuliani a vigorous, energetic campaigner who has been working hard and is known for working harder than the other candidates.
ST. LOUIS – Rudy Giuliani Communications Director Katie Levinson released the following statement this morning:
Earlier today, Mayor Giuliani experienced flu-like symptoms campaigning in Missouri. The symptoms worsened as the day wore on and shortly after taking off from Chesterfield, Missouri for New York the Mayor became uncomfortable enough that our plane returned to the airport in Chesterfield. To be on the safe side, the Mayor consulted with his personal physician in New York and made the decision to go to the Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for routine tests.
“The Mayor will spend the night in St. Louis and we will provide another update in the morning.”

So happy to hear the Mayor is doing better! Thanks for the latenight update! Hope he gets back to 100% soon. Go Rudy!
Carl, you better get some sleep! Glad Rudy is feeling better.
I doubt this will affect Rudy’s chances for the nomination over the long term.
