Quote of the Day
“For a guy who’s got nothing but adoring press for seven years, and is unknown to 70 percent of the public, it’s not easy to win if you’re a single-issue candidate. Our feeling is, bring him on.” -- Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan, on Republican Chris Christie, who is resigning as U.S. Attorney to run for Governor.

A TRUE First Lady...
should be seen and not heard as she is not meant to have any say in policy making decisions. Otherwise, she would be on the ballot.

Unfortunatly, that is not the world that we live in. As you are aware the President's spouse has a high profile position and is uniquly positioned to influence policy and philanthropic efforts. Furthermore, who cares who would make a better first lady. While either of them will likely do well as an advocate no one shluld vote based on the candidates wife.
Exp
Cindy McCain oversees a big successful business Obama didn't she get put on some Hospital board thanks to her hubby? I perfer the less political first lady.
Cindy
Cindy McCain does runs a big business, but that's just it. She isn't political and hardly knows politics. First Ladies are often seen as advisers/influences to the president.
So is Cindy McCain, the one who hardly knows politics, the best person to advise and influence our President (if he wins)... I think not.
Clinton
the first for my years alive was clinton in becoming more advisor than an activist. I'm hoping Cindy mcCain can pick some things like Laura Bush to focus on and make better in the States - we don't need an advisor type and Michele Obama reminds me a little of that.
Michelle Obama
Look scripted and medicated...
Cindy McCain is a class act.
Vote Column A - All the way!
NO Obamaaaa
No!!! to the Angry Black Women........
Most of the overpaid lawyers
Most of the overpaid lawyers in DC hardly know politics. I'd prefer Cindy over 90% of Congress. At least she has accomplished something in the real world.
