Doubt it.  I hope it doesn't influence the election in any way.

I'm also disgusted that even this must be spun politically here.

No, it would not be news if Obama weren't a candidate. Neither would Palin's teen's pregnancy. I'm glad that when my grandfather died, it was significant to friends and family, and no one else, great man though he was.

May she rest in peace.

so, so, so very close to election day.
I am thinking Madelyn knows he is going to win,
and is watching her baby boy from heaven.
R.I.P. Madelyn, sleep with the angels.

I doubt it. I can't imagine how many of the people that die everyday in this world were someone's grandmother.

But it would be the same for any well known musician, celebrity, athlete, politcian, etc.

I was actually surprised that I was hit so hard by the news. I think it made me think of my own grandmother, and the things in my life that I wish she were here for.

I look at it this way:  She has a better seat to view it all from "above". 

And can you imagine the journalists descending upon her to get her "response to his election"?  It's a mercy.

Rest in peace, dear soul.

Ok, so a woman I don't know, who played no part for good or ill in my life (or any of YOUR lives, for that matter), whose family I don't and will never personally know (and again, neither will Any of You), finally sucumbed to age and illness.  In the long run, all I can think is "So what?"  People die every day.  Peoples' grandmothers...grandfathers... aunts, uncles, cousins, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, neices and nephews, sons and daughters, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.... die.  It's a fact of life.  Death is the ultimate playing field leveler, and the only thing that none of us - regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual preference, social standing, age, education, inate intelligence, chosen career, or anything else - gets to escape.  Even if I had known her, why should I grieve?  My grief or lack thereof for someone whom I didn't know and who had zero impact on me personally or anyone who actually Matters to me means less than nothing.  It offers no comfort to those whom she DID actually Mean something to and who knew her.  It changes nothing.
 
Grief hell, I'm JEALOUS - she gets outta the game, it's headaches and heartaches, and all the pain, loss, and suffering that goes along with it - and I'm still stuck here dealing!
 
For whoever it was that asked whether it would even have done more than gained a passing and overlooked obit had she Not been related to one of the two twits running for PotUS.... nope.  No one would have noticed or cared.  No one would have mentioned it in a thread, or anywhere else.  And just like it will do ANYWAY - life will continue pretty much unchanged for the entire world except her close family and actual friends.

You're wrong. She has had a profound impact on my life. The way she raised her grandson has produced a man who brings me hope and inspiration. I didn't need to meet her or personally know her to be effected by her presence in this world. Without her, I wouldn't have this chance at watching history unfold. Ripples run far and wide.
