Ted Kennedy rested in the hospital yesterday as he awaited test results—expected today at soonest—to shed light on his seizure Saturday, the Boston Globe reports. The Massachusetts senator watched the Red Sox game and movies and received visits from family, as well as a call from Barack Obama. “He sounded like the Ted Kennedy we know and love,” Obama told reporters.

"I'm just thrilled that he is back on the mend and I suspect will be on the floor of the Senate immediately," Obama said. "There's not a better senator or better friend or better supporter than Ted Kennedy." (More Ted Kennedy stories.)
