It was only a few days ago that Senator Joe Biden of Delaware, the VP running-mate for Democratic Presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, had to leave the campaign trail for a few days to tend to his ailing mother-in-law. Today, Biden’s mother in law had passed away.
It was not long after the vice-presidential debate between Biden and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the running-mate for GOP Presidential nominee Senator John McCain of Arizona, had debated in St. Louis, Missouri.
Biden’s mother-in-law, Bonny Jacobs, has been very ill for the longest time. But, today Bonny Jacobs had passed away. Coincidentally, it is on the same day that his son, Beau, is set to deploy to begin his tour of Iraq.
As a result of the death of Bonny Jacobs, scheduled events that include Biden will be canceled tomorrow and Tuesday.
