Update 2: Doctors say Ted Kennedy has a brain tumor which was discovered following his seizures a few days ago.

Update 1: Here is a statement from Senator Kennedy's doctor. "Preliminary tests have determined that he has not suffered a stroke and is not in any immediate danger. Hes resting comfortably, and watching the Red Sox game with his family. Over the next couple of days, Senator Kennedy will undergo further evaluation to determine the cause of the seizure, and a course of treatment will be determined at that time."

Senator Ted Kennedy was rushed to a local hospital after he apparently suffered a seizure. After visiting the local Cape Cod hospital, he was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The Boston Globe is reporting doctors believe Kennedy suffered a seizure at his home this morning, then had a second seizure while being airlifted to Massachusetts General.

Seven months ago, Senator Kennedy had surgery to remove a blockage in his left carotid artery. There is no official word on whether that contributed to his seizure today.

John McCain had this to say: "Senator Kennedy's role in the U.S. Senate cannot be overstated. He is a legendary lawmaker, and I have the highest respect for him. When we have worked together, he has been a skillful, fair and generous partner."

Barack Obama had this to say: "Ted Kennedy is a giant in American political history. He's done more for health care than just about anybody in history. We are going to be rooting for him. I insist on being optimistic about how it’s going to turn out."
