I thought McCain's opening line about Ted Kennedy being hospitalized was out of line.
Everyone knows Kennedy is ill, but to open the debate—in a somewhat solemn tone—made some of us wonder if Kennedy's situation had turned from bad to worse, possibly even grave.
Turns out, Kennedy was back home, after briefly being hospitalized for feeling ill, by the time McCain made that statement.
A statement issued by the 76-year-old senator's office attributed the episode to a change in medications. Sen. John Kerry said his fellow Massachusetts Democrat was well and planned to watch the evening's presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama.
A 911 call from the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port came around 5 p.m., said Barnstable police Sgt. Ben Baxter. Kennedy was taken to Cape Cod Hospital and was "alert and responsive" during the trip, Baxter said.
Kennedy's office confirmed he returned home about 8 p.m. Click here for more.
