This can happen to any diabetic regardless of how well you maintain your glucose levels. My son is Type 1 and has infrequent episodes of low sugar.

Did he eat the sucker off the floor? That always works!

Wonder if they will point to this episode to try to replace him...

And if they do try, now that Mumpower has stated he was not running again, who would they run against him?

There's only a short amount of time left in this session...I imagine the Speaker Pro Temp and/or the Deputy Speaker can handle the rest of it if need be.

Then they will have another election for speak next session...and I've wondered what kind of chance he had again anyway....
