Jesse Jackson is being treated in a Chicago hospital today, after being admitted last night with stomach pains, the Tribune reports. Jackson began to feel ill earlier this week, while campaigning for Barack Obama in Georgia. Doctors believe he has viral gastroenteritis, but are conducting more tests. “I have high regard for these doctors,” said Jackson, adding that the pain was “subsiding.” (More Jesse Jackson stories.)
