My 19-year-old son commented on how much he was going to miss her. He noted that she set the bar mighty high for future FLOTUS-es. Gee, guess we'll have a FDOTUS next!

who cares how she looked? No one has talked about how Booker or Sanders looked tonight.

I care more about what she said (and has done for the last seven and a half years).




*I have an 11 month old Daughter and since her birth I've become much more aware of the 'how she looks' thing.

Perhaps then it would not be sexist. Right now it is.

On their physical assets even remotely as often as women do? Not unless they are models - or maybe firemen.

Steve Schmidt, McCain's former campaign manager said the speech was so good that it might show up at a future Republican Convention.

That made me laugh.

Btw, Michelle Obama was stellar tonight.

I honestly believe Michelle Obama is looking forward to re-entering private life, such as it will be, after eight years of living in a bubble.

Michelle Obama gave the best speech of the night and probably the best speech since Bill Clinton's speech at the 2012 convention. It might even have surpassed his. She is a talented politician in her own right.

Perhaps she will be named to the Supreme Court. That is something to wish for.
