Pinky is the real genius while Brain turned out to be insane. Just like how Mccain seemed like he was using Palin to get the women vote but now she's bailing out to go for Palin '12.... :O

Seriously. What a bittersweet day tomorrow will be for him now... only one more day and she could have seen his dream, where his mother could not :(

Cynically speaking, i think this is likely to help him win votes. But it's a fucking shame.

ULTRA-BAD TIMING FOR REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

November 3, 2008 02:16 PM

Leaving no potential avenue of attack unexplored, the Republican National Committee has decided to bash Barack Obama over his October visit to see his ailing grandmother in Hawaii.

Of course the visit itself is not being criticized, but rather the way the campaign paid for the nominee's unscheduled detour. On Monday afternoon, the RNC blasted out a complaint from the California Republican Party charging that "Obama for America violated federal law by converting its campaign funds to Senator Obama's personal use" for the trip. That proposed issue for the FEC to investigate is one of five violations alleged by California Republicans in their complaint (which you can read in its entirety here).

As a sitting Senator, he can also submit bills, which can begin the long process of becoming laws.

It is with great sadness that we announce that our grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died peacefully after a battle with cancer. She was the cornerstone of our family, and a woman of extraordinary accomplishment, strength, and humility. She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring. Our debt to her is beyond measure.

Our family wants to thank all of those who sent flowers, cards, well-wishes, and prayers during this difficult time. It brought our grandmother and us great comfort. Our grandmother was a private woman, and we will respect her wish for a small private ceremony to be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you make a donation to any worthy organization in search of a cure for cancer.
