On a related note, I caught an item on CNN about Michelle Obama being “fair game” in the election — of course the two folks they interviewed about it were both Republican strategists — and there was absolutely no mention of Cindy McCain (except to air her comment dissing Michelle). Interestingly, these strategists were laying the groundwork that it’s okay to go after Michelle because there’s just so little known about Barack. This of course makes Cindy off-limits since we all know McCain is a maverick from way back, or something.

This isn’t going to be pretty, folks. I just hope people can see through all this when they make their decision on Election Day.

And the sounds of heads exploding were heard throughout the land.

When you compare our future First Lady, and the last Democratic First Lady, and you compare those to the recent First Ladies of the Republican administrations, and you see very different pictures. In the end, I think someone like Michelle, someone who is engaging and female, and challenging to a male dominated culture, I think that is threatening to a lot of people.
