41. Campaigning basically ends today
The candidates don't do rallies on election day because they want all of their supporters volunteering to get out the vote. I'm sure his appearance tonight is going to be a tear jerker.

19. Oh, goodness no!
I was so hoping she would live to see him elected.

Heaven will shine tonight as an angel will arrive!!!

That lady had to be something extra special to have reared Obama the child for him to become Obama the man.

Rest in peace, Toot, and my thoughts and prayers are with the family.

You know she only has a few days, and its time like that when you remember the limits on your ability to change things.
