    ...she's been like a second mother to him, so I'm sure this is a very tough situation for him and his family.

    will not cost him a bit.  Even had this sad turn not happened, at this point in the campaign he ought to have been elsewhere.  (And now I begin to see the only explanation for scheduling those stops in blue states, which was so puzzling.  These may have been "soft" dates put in every couple of weeks amid red-state stops, with her health in mind, so that he would not have to cancel on red states.)

    Our thoughts and prayers to Sen. Obama and his family as they deal with the illness of his grandmother.  She is and was such a huge influence on his life.
