Blessings for Mrs Dunham. God Bless her, Ms. Soetoro and Grandson Barack.
A hip injury at her age can be life threatening, the bodily systems can be overtaxed and start to shut down.
How unfortunate for Senator Obama if his blessed Mother should expire one week before the election?

In 2000, Mel Carnahan running for US Senate for Missouri died in a plane crash, incumbent John Ashcroft suspended his campaign, the sympathy was so overwhelming that his widow,and was elected a week later.

I suppose the Hawaii Supreme Court might also not act out of sympathy on the birth certicate issue out of sympathy, just as the Missouri courts dubiously allowed Mel Carnahan votes to go to Senator Jean Carnahan.

Check your history again. Carnahan's votes went to Mel Carnahan. His wife was appointed to the seat in his place. And there was nothing dubious about any court decisions. Missouri election laws are quite clear. No subtitutions of any listed candidate is allowed on the ballot within three weeks of the election. Carnahan died 20 days before hand. His name had to stay on the ballot.
