Today Obama's grandmother passed away, only hours before the polls open. Obama has repeated throughout his career that his grandmother is a rock in their family; she raised him when he did not have the support from his parents. We could look at this in a positive light---she didn't need to see the outcome of the race, Obama has already made such strides for himself, for poor parentless people, for a member of the minority, the list goes on. Despite the result of tomorrow's race, his grandmother got to see Barack accomplish amazing things.
