AP is running a photo of Barack Hussein Obama's Grandmother today seated outside of her "tiny hut" in Western Kenya, the characterization used by Sen. Obama when he stated his bona fides for understanding how the world works. According to Mr. Obama, quoted again in Kathleen Parker's excellent op-ed in the Buffalo News two days ago about what essentials are necessary in a president in a time of war and terror:

It’s that experience, that understanding, not just of what world leaders I went and talked to in the ambassador’s house I had tea with, but understanding the lives of the people like my grandmother, who lives in a tiny hut in Africa.

Mrs. Sarah Hussein Obama is shown left seated in front of her home, obviously not a "tiny hut". It's good to see that Mrs. Hussein Obama lives in a nice house, rather than in a tiny hut. We prefer that all Grandmothers live in houses rather than "tiny huts", unless they actually prefer "tiny huts".

A new poll from Fox News from New Hampshire has voters saying they're for Barack Obama, as Hillary Clinton leads right now in the early returns.* Obama rally attendees may have been "Fired up, and ready to go", but it appears that more New Hampshire Democrats were actually ready to go to the polls for Hillary.
