If Michelle Obama decided to run for president in 2016, she would pose the most significant threat, among likely contenders, to Hillary Clinton's chances of winning the Democratic nomination, according to a new Rasmussen poll.
A telephone survey of 1,000 likely voters conducted by the polling company found that in a hypothetical match-up between the current first lady and the former secretary of State, Clinton would best Obama 56 percent to 22 percent.
That may seem like a significant margin, but according to the most recent RealClearPolitics polling average, Elizabeth Warren, a popular hypothetical challenger to Clinton, receives only 12.5 percent to Clinton's 64 percent.

Those poor old Donks sure are running low on options!
How about this: Hillary for Prez, Michelle for VP. The black lady would take a seat in the back of the bus, haha!
Never happen.
After her husband I predict it will be a LONG time again before you see another black president in office. He continuously lied and reinforced negative stereotypes of his race.

On the positive: Those Obama daughters are so cute. The oldest girl is stunning.
On the issue: Wasn’t it Rush who used to always say liberals were about symbolism over substance. This would be evidence that that has not changed.
I would hope you are right. He ruled like a mini-Mugabe. And I don’t use “ruled” lightly with respect to Presidents, who are supposed to preside. But, he stroked special interests and white guilt, and “divided we fall” it was... twice.
I’m not sure that it couldn’t be repeated with another talented demagogue.
And how very low we've stooped as a country.
LOL. Can you imagine Hillary’s reaction if she found herself losing primaries to yet another Obama, and one as hopelessly incompetent as Mooch at that? The long knives would come out along with the flop sweat and it would be one heck of a show.
I hope she does run!!!!!!!!!!!!
That this is even being discussed is proof we have become a banana republic.
She is the epitome of subtle feminine grace, isn’t she?
I find myself particularly unstunned.
