I remember feeling totally sorry for her during the convention, when you could see her visibly uncomfortable with Sarah Palin on the stage, or watching the Palin brood in the seats. Hope she's fine soon.
(CNN) – The mother of U.S. Senator and former presidential candidate John McCain is hospitalized in Lisbon, Portugal, after injuring her head in a fall, McCain's spokeswoman said Friday.
Roberta McCain, 97, was visiting Lisbon as a tourist when she fainted and hurt her head, spokeswoman Brooke Buchanan said.
McCain is stable and will be held for observation, Dr. Fatima Palmero of the Sao Jose Hospital told CNN. It is not clear when McCain might leave the hospital, Palermo said.
The senator has spoken to his mother and the doctors treating her, who report that she is recovering well, Buchanan said.
