Will John McCain be hospitalized before the November Election?

Settled as No

Hospitalized means taken to a hospital, this does not require him spending the night. By taken to a hospital I do not mean for a scheduled test.


Settlement details: As reported by CNN, MSNBC or ABC. By taken to a hospital I do not mean for a scheduled test.

"taken to a hospital"... does this mean by ambulance or would a scheduled test that is done in a hospital count?

i read this to say that any visit to a hospital where mccain receives medical treatment would count

By taken to a hospital I do not mean for a scheduled test. So if he has a physical and has blood work or an x-ray at a hospital this does not count. The intent is something unexpected. This would not necessarily mean an ambulance or a stay there, just an unexpected medical issue that requires a trip to a hospital. His health and age are an issue in this election and any unexpected health problem (even if it turns out to be nothing) could cost him votes.
