It's Obama's grandmother....and I hate to calculate on such an occasion, BUT it might help Obama more. I say that because if McCain or his surrogates try to attack him on any policy or whatever, lefties/bloggers/Obama campaign can spin this as "How dare you attack the guy while his granny is gravely ill?"

The Right aint helping itself when some right-wing bloggers/pundits already are claiming that she either aint that sick or that Obama taking the week off is a stunt.
