Senator Ted Kennedy has a “malignant brain tumor,” according to doctors in Boston.

The Senator had a seizure over the weekend that was first thought a possible stroke.  After testing, the tumor has been discovered and identified as a “malignant glioma” in the top of the Senator’s brain.  Colleagues from both sides of the aisle have been stating their support for the Senator.  (NPR)

Senators Clinton and Obama continue their battle for the Democratic nomination…

It is widely expected that, after the voting ends tonight in Kentucky and Oregon, Senator Barack Obama will have the majority of pledged delegates, but he still will not have enough to secure the nomination.  Voting ends at 6 CST in Kentucky and 10 CST this evening.  Obama will still be between 50 and 75 delegates (total required: 2,026 delegates to win).  Clinton is expected to win Kentucky handily, while Oregon is likely going to go for Obama by up to eleven points.
