Feinstein injured, will not attend convention

| | Comments (0) |

U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced she will be unable to attend next week's Democratic Convention in Denver due to a broken ankle suffered last week.
Here is her full statement:
"Last Friday -- the day before the Lake Tahoe Summit -- I slipped and broke my left ankle while I was on a walk with Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher on the Meeks Bay Trail in the Tahoe forest.
My doctor has advised me not to travel in the short-term, and so, regretfully, I am unable to attend what will surely be an historic convention in Denver.
I was very much looking forward to chairing the California Delegation, and I offer my best wishes to California's delegates in this vital nomination process."
