Most Republicans are decent folks. In fact if I recall correctly, in McCain's opening remarks at the first debate McCain wished Teddy Kennedy well. I would imagine thatMcCain and Palin would both send their best wishes.

All I've seen so far are the disgusting comments of Brad Blakeman, who (when asked about Palin's $150,000 clothing spending spree) said "the real outrage is Barack Obama taking a 767 campaign plane to go visit Grandma. Forget about the energy that is wasted, what about the hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a private trip when this guy should be humping his bags on a commercial plane or taking a smaller plane. Taking a 767 of campaign money from people who could least afford it is more of an outrage in my opinion." <br><br><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/23/gop-strategist-on-palins_n_137226.html">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/23/gop-st...</a> Thank you for your heartfelt comments, and I'm sure you speak for all of us (no matter what our political stripes may be) in wishing Ms. Dunham a full and speedy recovery.
