...arrive at 7:15 p.m. Thursday, Honolulu time. Back east, in his second hometown of Chicago, it was already past midnight - and an hour later in Washington where he hopes to take up a famous residence next year. Sen. Barack Obama immediately drove to see his ailing grandmother, the woman he affectionately calls "Toot," at her apartment on Beretania Street, before retiring to a hotel on the city's touristy Waikiki strip. By daylight, he was again at the Beretania Street apartment, emerging at one point, dressed in a black polo shirt, dark-glasses and flip-flops, walking pensively...

Last week, she was fired from her part-time job as a telemarketer when she refused...
...Cole, a young woman who is preparing to cast her very first vote-and who still won't disclose who it will be for - it was a rough introduction to modern campaign tactics. At the rally, Biden lauded her from the podium, and declared: "Our country cannot take four more years of this divisive politics." But for her part, Cole seemed like she would have been just as happy not to play her bit part in this election season. "It seems pretty nasty," she told me, and added: "I'm too young for all this...
