I saw this news two days ago,

And knew who Granny D was. She died at 100 years old. When she was 94, she ran for the Senate against Judd Gregg in NH. At 88, she walked across all America, and was a liberal of the finest sort. Crooks and Liars put up a tribute to her today. If you want to see what a remarkable woman she was, click on the link. It runs about ten minutes. She had never been in a formal debate on tee-vee before that. And I got a kick out of the accent. (sorry..) Link here.
