From AP video, during a campaign stop Friday at Independence, Iowa. It plays twice in the clip, giving an instant-replay feel.
Hopefully a doctor wasn’t required at the scene.

Here is a link to the video. The CNN graphic shows her name as “STUFFY.” Surely the Iowa woman is Norma “Duffy” Lyon of Toledo, Iowa - aka The Butter Lady.
CNN Description:
An Iowa woman created a bust of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama using 23 pounds of butter.
More from New York Times:
TOLEDO, Iowa – He’s like buttah. …
Tonight, Mr. Obama pointed her out in the crowd and called her an “important dignitary.”
“I hope you didn’t make my ears too big,” he said.
She didn’t.
