MILWAUKEE — She can rouse a crowd as she did here this week, connect with women and drive turnout among African-American voters. Yet despite the nail-biting closeness of state contests to decide which party will control the Senate, Michelle Obama has been largely absent from the campaign trail so far.
She has her reasons, Democrats say: Mrs. Obama hates to be away from her daughters. She loathes Washington’s toxic politics. She resents Republicans for their opposition to her husband’s agenda. But she also believes some Senate Democrats have been insufficiently supportive of her own efforts to end childhood obesity.
This month, though, Mrs. Obama is emerging to rally voters, mostly, it seems, on behalf of candidates for governor. On Friday, she will be in Maine and Massachusetts for rallies, and later this month she will return to Wisconsin for another voter-mobilization event like the one she led here on Monday.
But unlike Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as first lady crisscrossed the country for Democrats in 1998, visiting about 20 states, Mrs. Obama will keep to a fairly limited path. In a measure of how deeply unpopular her husband is in Republican-leaning battleground states, Democratic Senate candidates there worry that Mrs. Obama’s presence would tie them too closely to the president they are trying to distance themselves from, just as undecided voters are making up their minds.
“She’s awesome, but it just brings in the name Obama,” said a Democratic strategist in a state with a close Senate race, who, like most other Democrats interviewed, declined to be identified discussing politics involving Mrs. Obama.

MIchelle Ebolobama?
Toss a few rotten tomatoes at the food Nazi.
It doesn’t really matter since Democrats have so many dead voters they can get to the polls.
I’d say the whole name is.
She is an uglier, more hateful person than is her husband. Having the same last name has little to do with it.
If they want her to come, all they need do is yell, “CHOW TIME!”
The NYT, like all of the left, will never stop promoting the myth that this woman is likeable.
Chewbacca does not have a last name.
Chewbacca Jemima.
“MIchelle Ebolobama?”
ROFL!!
And that she is one of the most fashionable and elegant First Ladies ever. Another Jackie Kennedy!
Barf!
There...fixed.
I cannot stand that person ever since the words came out as wasn’t proud of this country until that butt got in as some kind of specialty claim versus being worthy as anyone else is or would be. ( That’s only when this changed for them). They has no room to utter and force how families choose what foods to eat. It’s like that crazy blonde chick (who admits to eating bugs) on Fox claimed how she is pushing for a federal law that children under 12 cannot eat at McDonalds. And, that very idiotic person was invited to a number of venues with Obama’s wife. The nut cases are getting favors. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed do it all of the time. No wonder things are terrible and it’s reasonable to see why people have distain for the politicians.
EYE BLEACH PLEASE
