Just saw Michelle Obama speak.
While I am undecided on who to support, I was impressed with Michelle Obama. She's energetic and able to balance her career, community service, her family, and Barack's campaign extremely well. For example, she talked about keeping her out of town trips to "same day" -- so she can be with her kids in the evening.
Also, she definitely made me think differently about Barack's "lack of experience". Points: a) Experience in Washington is not necessarily a good thing. It can make you take things for granted and abuse power -- look at current administration. b) You should consider Barack's "outside of Washington" experience as well before declaring him inexperienced.

interesting... but Barak doesn't even have that much outside experience (not in comparison to many). also something to consider (and, I'm not necessarily saying this is the way to analyze this, but it's something I think about) but remember that when Bush first ran for office, he ran on the same notion of being from "outside DC" is the way to bring people together...and now we have the most partisan president in history.
i was really impressed by michelle obama too. i'm also still undecided, but hearing what she had to say definitely appeased some of my doubts. also, i think the fact that barack was able to attract so much of both the minority and republican votes in his senate race shows that he won't be as partisan/divisive as bush. i actually spoke to a couple republicans who really like obama!
