A one-on-one conversation just seems different to me.
Yes, I agree that a one-on-one conversation between a voter and The First Lady would be different. However it is definitely electioneering to try to influence someone's vote.

And a "hint" from Michelle Obama on how to vote would have a far greater impact on a voter than men holding signs.
