Doctor called to Obama's hotel to examine sore throat
January 7, 2008
LEBANON, N.H.--A doctor was called to examine White House hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) late Sunday night amid concerns from the front-running Democratic candidate and his staff that his hoarseness did not signal a more serious medical condition.
A doctor arrived at a Best Western inn in Keene shortly after Obama's motorcade, including two buses with his traveling bus corps arrived sometime after 10 p.m. The press was not notified about the doctors visit.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is increasingly confident he will win Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.
