Now, news of a different sort, by way of a CNN source who says the Republican was "treated surgically" for prostate cancer over the summer at UC Irvine Hospital in California. The unnamed source described the treatment as successful and the prognosis as "good." NBC News and Fox News say their sources confirm the story. (More Mitt Romney stories.)
