Posted on 08/27/2008 11:40:26 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

Roxanne Taylor (D-Bowie), a Barack Obama Democratic National Committee delegate from the 5th District, suffered a stroke early this morning, WTOP reports.

Fellow delegates noticed Taylor not looking well shortly after midnight while at Comptroller Peter Franchot's reception at a downtown Denver bar. They alerted emergency medical personnel who said she was having a stroke.

She is currently at the Denver Medical Center, where she is listed in fair condition.

Well, I hope she recovers. Certainly not what you’d want to happen while being a delegate to a convention.

Just throwing this out there: I wonder if the altitude adjustment had anything to do with it?

I’m absolutely shocked that no one here has blamed the Clintons yet...

God bless her. Here’s hoping it’s transient and she’ll recover fully!

How did you know she's black?

Did you know her from her blog on mybarackobama.com?

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

I don’t suffer with high blood pressure, but anytime I go up in the mountains, I suffer nose bleeds. The two may be related as it is a blood vessel bursting.

Your nosebleeds are probably due to the low humidity. I have the same problem if I go into the desert for more than a couple of days.

Uh... I merely looked at her pic in the linked story....

But hey ... If I were single and in the market for a left-wing mistress in MD, she would have been in the running....

High blood pressure affects black people at much higher rates than whites -- 3-4 times as common.

You READ the story???

That's like cheating as far as I'm concerned.

Also, not guilty.

The altitude is debilitating at first and especially if any alcohol is consumed.
