WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota was undergoing brain surgery Wednesday night at George Washington University Hospital after being hospitalized earlier in the day due to stroke-like symptoms, two Democratic sources familiar with his condition told CNN.
Johnson, 59, was taken to the hospital Wednesday morning after he appeared to suffer stroke-like symptoms, although a spokeswoman for the senator said subsequent evaluation showed he did not suffer a stroke or a heart attack. Staffers told CNN Johnson was conscious when he was transported to the hospital.
.... when "his speech pattern slipped off."
Fisher said the senator was able to walk back to his office in the Hart Senate Office Building, then began having problems with his right arm. He thought he was all right, she said, and went to his desk, but came out a few minutes later and "it was apparent he needed help." (Posted 11:13 p.m.)

Thanks for the update. It does sound like an aneurysm to me, which technically then causes stroke to the brain.
My prayers for this poor family- they have a long road ahead of them.

It's Karl Rove & George Bush's fault. They say so on DU.

Wish him well. Don't want to gain his seat due to tragedy. Would rather have beat him. Hope he pulls thru.

Well .. if he didn't have a stroke .. then perhaps he has a brain tumor ..?? Nobody's saying it .. but the surgery might indicate it.
This does not look good for him at all. Even if the surgery is successful, impairment might be substantial. Sad.
