Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY) Has Leukemia
C
raig Thomas, re-elected on Tuesday to a third term as U.S. Senator from Wyoming, has been diagnosed with leukemia.
No word on how serious the condition currently is, although he's been hospitalized for the last few days. I wish him a full and speedy recovery.
(Note that Wyoming's governor, who would appoint a replacement if Thomas were too ill to serve, is Dave Freudenthal, a very popular Democrat who also just won reelection.)

Apparently Wyoming is one of those states where the replacement senator is selected by the governor from a list provided by the senator's party. Thus there wouldn't be a party shift.
