Livingston, you must admit there is spin on both sides. Bush/McCain have so much spin around them, it would make Rapunzel green with envy. I will argue with you on one thing though. I think Michelle Obama is more than ready to take the heat. I know her to be a strong, intelligent and vibrant woman. I just believe that Obama was being a very respectful husband. And trust the "Queen of Focus Groups" here, that won him more than just a few votes. ;D
