McCain Says If His Grandmother Was Alive, She'd Be Sick Too.

Republican Presidential candidate John McCain, who for weeks now has been trying to stem the growing tide of support for his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, now has one more hurdle to face- America's sympathy for his opponent. Reports are that the Illinois Senator's grandmother is gravely ill in Hawaii and Mr. Obama has flown there to visit with her for what sadly may be the last time. Admitting that he was too old for any of his progenitors (how many times do you get to use that word in a sentence?) to still be alive enough to be dying, Mr. McCain averred that if one were, however, he'd be flying to see them, "As fast as I flew to Washington for that money crisis thing."
