Watching Michelle O. speaking on CSPAN. I'm neutral (Edwards supporter) so far.
If I may say, the spouses of the two remaining Dems would make pretty damn good POTUS' themselves.

Terrific!

2. Saw her speak at UCLA and she is very impressive
She is warm,passionate and classy.

Her speaking skills are simply stunning.

Michelle Obama holds the audience in the palm of her hands.

IMO, she will make a magnificent first lady.

5. off topic question for Bozita-
if Edwards did endorse someone, would you follow or has it been too long?

8. Honey, it wouldn't matter who Edwards
endorsed. Edwards supporters have always made up their own mind on what to think, that's why they chose him. Part of his supporters went to Obama, and part went to Clinton, and some, well, we don't like either of them.

6. I May Get A Chance To See Her In The Near Future...
In addition to several other prominent Obama surrogates. This came from someone with Obama's national campaign at a regional meeting I attended today. I guess this is the one silver lining for me personally of Hillary's desperately clinging on to her hopeless candidacy.

10. Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting down
to PA to see Obama speak if my Lucky Stars co-operated. That's about as close as it gets from New York.

11. Many Obama supporters would rule Michelle out as a potential

candidate in the future. Sad, come to think of it.

15. The whole "only qualification is as his wife" argument used with HRC
is now lying there on the record and available to be thrown back. One of the disadvantages of not planning very far ahead.

17. ok i can see your argument...
but im not one of those that believes that her years in the white house as the first lady are irrelevant. i dont know if they are as important as some would like to believe, but i also dont think that they should be dismissed. any married couple (even if the marriage is dysfunctional) knows that you confide in your spouse, im sure hillary had a hand in much of what bill did... but at the same time bill did it, not her and i dont think she should be given credit for it... just my opinion.

You won't like it, and I don't either. Fall out.
