Granny D Hospitalized For Throat Surgery: "Doris 'Granny D' Haddock, one of the nation's most relentless voices for campaign finance reform, has been silenced by a surgery that could cost her her voice.
Haddock, who ran for the U.S. Senate last year and gained national attention by walking across the country to promote campaign finance reform, underwent surgery on her windpipe Thursday.
'She is strong, and a full recovery is expected, but the long-term prospects of whether she would regain use of her well-known voice is uncertain,' said family spokesman Dennis Burke."
