"SNIP......


Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman (D) gave his first interview since having a stroke and told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he’s “feeling really good,” said he has “nothing to hide” on the status of his health and described the lingering effects of his stroke as minor and infrequent.

Fetterman, 52, said he has “no physical limits,” walks 4 to 5 miles every day in 90-degree heat, understands words properly and hasn’t lost any of his memory.

This means that the suspected aphasia was relatively minor and that Fetterman feels confident enough to resume a public schedule. Physically, he looks great and walking 4-5 miles indicates his strength and stamina have returned.

This has got to be tough because the man had a big, nasty taste of his own mortality at an earlier age than most of us anticipate.

Go, Big John! Bring it home.
