Stomach bug slows Carter's campaign

[NVMojo]

Jack Carter, Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, has fallen ill with a stomach ailment that has landed him in Summerlin Hospital.

Jay Jones, a spokesman, said there's no cause for alarm, however.

Carter began feeling sick Sunday: "As he continued to have the symptoms of the stomach bug the past couple of days, he was in a condition where he was weakened and dehydrated, and his doctor decided a hospital stay would be best for him."

Jones also said that Carter had been working a rigorous schedule of 12- and 14-hour days and seven-day weeks, which was making recovery more difficult: "The dynamics are very different when you're burning the candle at both ends."

Carter, a businessman and the son of former President Jimmy Carter, has been unable to attend events, including a fundraiser Thursday night. The planned opening of a volunteer office, set for Sunday, was postponed a week.
