BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) - Sen. Edward Kennedy announced Monday he will undergo surgery to treat a malignant brain tumor.

"Over the past several days, Vicki and I, along with my outstanding team of doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital, have consulted with experts from around the country and have decided that the best course of action for my brain tumor is targeted surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation," the senator said in a statement.

"This morning, I will be undergoing surgery with Dr. Allan Friedman at Duke University Medical Center and expect to remain there to recuperate for approximately one week.

"Shortly thereafter, I will start radiation treatments at Massachusetts General Hospital and begin chemotherapy. After completing treatment, I look forward to returning to the United States Senate and to doing everything I can to help elect Barack Obama as our next president."

God speed Ted. We want you to see the first REAL Black President elected. You have fought an honest and long fight for human and civil rights. That recognition comes from an older white woman in Texas by the way.

May God bless you and your family during this trying time.

I am going to lift up Sen. Kennedy's name in prayer. Life may not be fair, but GOD IS GOOD!

It speaks volumes about why we have loved him for so many years.

Inappropriate   June 2nd, 2008 9:52 am ET

I certainly wish Senator Kennedy well. However, I think it was extremely inappropriate for him to issue another "endorsement" such as this, at a time like this. He's using his condition to elicit "sympathy" votes for Obama, and that is very inappropriate.

Sam   June 2nd, 2008 9:49 am ET

This is awesome. Maybe they can put some sense in there while they are digging around.

On another note, It's finally out there in the open. In Hillary's victory speech today she made the flat-out statement that she's doing better in the polls than is Obama.

That is a lie, completely untrue.

One of the most credible and objective poll number crunching web sites, Real Clear Politics, has collected the most reputable polls out there of the critical swing states.

And here's what they show.

They agree that both Clinton and Obama beat McCain in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Jersey, Washington and California.

They agree that McCain beats either Clinton or Obama in Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia.

In how many states does Clinton beats McCain but McCain beats Obama? One, Florida, with its 27 electoral votes.

In how many states does Obama beat McCain but McCain beats Clinton? FOUR!!! Those four states are Colorado, Iowa, Oregon and Wisconsin. And guess what? Those four states carry a total of 33 electoral votes, yes, 33. Six more than Clinton's total from Florida.

The overall Electoral College count at the moment for the two candidates versus McCain? Clinton has 261 to McCain's 277. Obama has 267 to McCain's 271.

So it's absolutely untrue that Clinton, in any way, manner, shape or form, is a stronger candidate than Obama. Quite the reverse: Obama is slightly stronger than Clinton.

I really hope the Obama people stumble across this post, read it, and double-check it for themselves. I really hope that the rest of us note this fact, repeat it endlessly in all the blog threads, and eventually manage to bring it to the attention of the campaign.

Obama is the strongest Dem candidate at the moment, according to the most objective evidence, unquestionably and indisputably. Clinton's claims to the contrary are simply false; there's no other way of putting it. She's counting on people not checking the facts for themselves. We need to call her on this, particularly with the superdelegates.

Yes, we can,

Throw the bums and bummettes out of office   June 2nd, 2008 8:21 am ET

It appears the medical plan, (partially or fully funded by taxpayers), of the Congress are much more accomodating than many American health insurance plans.
It's unimaginable that "experts from around the the country" would have been consulted on behalf of many 80 year olds with the same health concerns as Kennedy.
All those terms in the Senate, no matter what party, breeds elitists and wealthy retirees.

Mary Sue   June 2nd, 2008 8:17 am ET
