Is this development more likely to hurt him because it takes him away from campaigning, or more likely to help him because of a sympathy vote?

I am sure he could care less. His grandmother means more to him than some election.

Of course he cares. Why else didn't he visit her when she was in the hospital? Why did he only see her for 45 minutes in all of 20 months? Why is he waiting until Thursday? Why is his wife going to be bashing McCain and Palin in OH, instead of going with him to be at his side and possibly see her Grandmother in law for the last time? Wait, she didn't see her in August, so why bother now.

If you haven't noticed, people are not exactly sympathetic to Obama over this...the grandmother yes.

This is the grandmother that he called a "typical white person", distance himself from for political purposes and it is rumored that he and his wife have kept her from seeing her grandchildren all these years....now that is disgusting.

Are you Barack or Michele? You have NO idea what’s important to him......now go take your well needed nap.

“His grandmother means more to him than some election.”

He has hever shown any such sentiment. If Grams meant more to him than the election he’d be in Hawaii right now, not waiting until the end of the week, after hustling votes amd attending rallies, to finally go.
