Michelle Obama, the great persuader

Sam Wang gives a lot of credit to this speech for the huge bump in the polls. Great, encouraging stuff. Too bad, Queen Ann, you were useless.

I saw most of her speech, and watched her on Letterman. I was not blown away.

Michelle keeps writing to me, asking for money, so the campaign seems to be leading with her. Maybe it is easier for her to talk about how great he is, rather than having him do it.

I find it kinda odd though, but I cannot remember if it was one of her letters or his that made me mad enough to tear it up and mail it back to them.
