RIP, my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

That said, this pretty much erased all personal attacks Mccain supporters could have mustered today, including but not limited to Jeremiah Wright.

Hopefully this gets people to realize what's really important. I don't want anyone to sympathy vote Obama into office, but give the man a break today.

Not to sound morbid but it looks like Obama's granny just took a baseball bat to McCain's last newscycle. Poor Bams, I wonder if he'll keep campaigning today..

This loss should pump up Obama supporters to go out there and GOTV in a way never done before. Like reagan used to say: Do this for Grandma toot

First tragedy, then farce.
Really sad news, glad that Obama got to see her one last time. :(

Also, the assholes at the RNC running all of those anti-Obama ads are going to feel like sons of bitches. I wonder how fast they are scrambling to pull them off the air?

The above prayer card is circulating among Hispanic Catholics, especially in the key southwest battleground states.

The picture, by the way, was taken of McCain at Mexico City’s sacred Virgin of Guadalupe Basilica, which he visited in July.

I'm sure he will.

He knew this was coming and to not finish the job would go against everything his grandmother taught him. So I don't see him letting up now.

Poor Obama's grandma. :(

I wonder if Limbaugh will feel like shit, and apologize for making fun of her when Barack left the campaign to visit her?

Sorry to hear the news. :-(

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Barack Obama says that his grandmother has died. The Democratic presidential candidate announced the news in a joint statement with his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng. He said his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, had died peacefully after a battle with cancer.

He said: "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."

The candidate learned of her death Monday morning while he was campaigning in Jacksonville, Fla. He planned to go ahead with campaign appearances.

Late last month, Obama took a break from campaigning and flew to Hawaii to be with the 86-year-old Dunham, who helped raise him.

She died 1 day before the election, 1 day before seeing her grandson elected President. Wow.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

He'll just pop some more pills and forget the whole thing ever happened. did O'Reilly apologize to the Nobel Prize Winner?

Talk about bad timing... if she could have only lived a couple days longer... she'd have likely seen him win. :(

RIP. Can't imagine what Obama is going through right now.
