Ivan Harmon heads to hospital

Knoxville mayoral candidate Ivan Harmon (who will tell everyone he meets that he's the only true Republican running for the city's highest elected office) plans to check into the hospital today as a routine precautionary measure.

Ivan, left, should be back on the campaign trail this Tuesday. You might recall that toward the end of May, Harmon was in the hospital because of a blood clot it in his left leg. We wrote about it right smack here.

I don't have a dog in this mayoral race - I pick on all the candidates equally - but I do wish the guy well. And knowing Ivan, he'll be campaigning inside the hospital.

Here's the official press release right smack here.
