Complications of heart surgery. Article. Very sad.

... that's a little weird (I'd just mentioned him on the Norah Jones thread earlier today). I met him a couple times when he was campaigning in New Hampshire, and he was friendly in what seemed a genuine, if guarded, way, even when clearly exhausted.

It is a shame, yeah.

yes, exactly like what he was like when I met him.

RIP, Paul. You served us Illinoisans well.

Yeah, even Republicans liked him personally, if they didn't agree with his politics. RIP.
