Daily Polichicks - Tuesday

The Daily Polichicks is the the Nightly Polichicks today!  We're so late!  Apologies pet-lings!

So without furher ado (and delay), here's your Nightly Polichicks:

Barack Obama will suspend his campaign to spend time with his sick grandmother.  He is expected to fly to Hawaii on Thursday and resume campaigning on Staurday.  We send out get well wishes to his grandmother, who is affectionately known as Toot.  [The New York Times]

John McCain distances himself from President Bush at nearly every campaign stop. "I am so not George Bush," he says.  That may not be an exact quote, but whatever.  Close enough. Anyway, a McCain advisor says that the campaign has to do something to counteract Obama's assertion that McCain is just a third Bush twin. [The Washington Post]

Here's the scoop on John McCain's American Idol makeup artist. [The Washington Post]

John McCain accuses Barack Obama of flip flopping when it comes to baseball.  "When he's campaigning in Philadelphia, he roots for the Phillies, and when he's campaigning in Tampa Bay, he shows love to the Rays,"  McCain said.  An Obama spokesman responded, "I guess these are the kinds of attacks you make when your campaign has conceded that if you talk about the economy, you'll lose."  [The New York Times]
