(CNN) - Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill's 84-year-old mother, Betty Anne Ward McCaskill, died on Monday, the senator from Missouri said in a statement on Monday.
"For some time, mom's health has not been good, and our family takes comfort that she is now at rest," McCaskill wrote. "People all over the state have asked about her, and their prayers and concern have been greatly appreciated."

If this race was in doubt this probably will do it. Just enough sympathy. It’s worked in the past many times.
No one finds it humorous that Claire McCaskill’s mother died. Thank heaven’s she wasn’t in one of Claire’s husband’s nursing homes.
We just believe the senate race is so important and that a McCaskill win would harm our children and grandchildren not only in MO but in this country. McCaskill’s voting record has caused considerable damage..her vote brought Obamacare over the top in the senate. Her mother favored Obamacare.
It is very sad to lose someone you love and especially a child or a parent but it is my hope the independents and undecideds do not swing over to Claire out of sympathy.
For example..I could not abide Sen Ted Kennedy when he was alive and my opinion of him never changed after his death.
Ashcroft and Carnahan was a different situation since John's opponent was killed and replaced by the grieving widow.
You're a classless ass.
Guess you have forgotten what democrats can do at a memorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQMVVUtd_Yw

Let’s hope it does not hurt Akin
Sorry for the elder Ms McCaskill. Eighty-four isn’t very old, but, ... well, I damn sure hope she hadn’t voted yet.
Windflier IS a classy guy. He does not constantly betray conservatives here by all but rooting for Todd Akin's defeat. You do and that is what is REALLY classless.
She’s voting tomorrow.
OH Wow! what a memories that brings back. I will never forget it.
McCaskill’s fb page is full of sympathic voters..and I am sure the local news will be flooding us with coverage until election day
Shared sacrifice and all that rubbish, for the children of course.
You are very crass, shallow and callous.
You are very refined, deep and compassionate.
True story: the uncle of the second cousin of the fellow running for dogcatcher around here has just passed away. Why shouldn’t I start an FR thread in his memory?
Will there be a McCaskilloozafunerally this weekend?
Wouldn’t be surprised if the meanstream media picks up. Never know if Obama or other dems will come to MO to pay their respects and give a speech.
RIP.
LOL
Save the phony pretense. You have done nothing but attack Akin’s character for two months. You are the classless act
