I’ll tell you one huge benefit of Michelle is her gender. Just like everyone got the world excited about the first black prez, she could be the first woman.
We need to look at all of our options.
Yeah, but sometimes it’s hard for a small woman to exude strength, especially when she’s standing on that stage with all those big guys. I don’t think people do it consciously, but I think people tend to pass her over and keep their eyes on where most of the heads are at.
Maybe I’m projecting. I’m a small woman myself and sometimes I feel left out when I’m in a group of tall guys.
Actually, I think that hurts her this time around.
After the Obama experiment has turned out to be a debacle, my guess is that the middle-of-the-road independents aren't looking for another "first", but would instead prefer boring and predictable.
