Actually, WD, if there's any 'silver lining' to Mrs. Dunham's passing, I think it's that it makes those smear-mongers -- the ones who called his recent Hawaii trip a cheap campaign trick -- look like the scumbags they are. The guy, quite understandably, takes time out from his campaign during a tightening race and close to election day, to visit the woman who was like a mother to him and was old and very seriously ill, and the let's-throw-everything-at-him-and-see-what-sticks crowd snicker and sneer and question the sincerity of his motives. Sheesh. I'm sorry that their ridiculous attack couldn't be totally exposed for the venomous idiocy it was without Mrs. Dunham's actually dying. But I wonder if any of those people feel any shame.
