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.
Unlike Hillary Rodham Clinton, who as first lady crisscrossed the country for Democrats in 1998, 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.

...”drive turnout among African-American voter.”
I’m not so sure about that. Hope and change hasn’t worked for them...and she doesn’t care.
Nobody want deal with WH Aunt Esther
I have a question:
Why is the first lady out campaigning? What office did she get elected to?
OK, that’s two questions. Sorry.

Bwhahahaha, oh, this is bad, berry bad!
Love how they have to soft pedal it.
Right. Moochelle is really so popular. But her husband is not well like in the racist red states.
If a Repub first lady, this would not be the narrative.
Does that solve the problem for the whiny DummycRats?
A related question is who is paying all her travel expenses?
When the president goes on strictly political trips, the Democrat party supposedly pays those expenses.
When he goes on trips which combine politics and official business, expenses are paid based on the fact that official business was conducted.
In the case of the first lady, she holds no official position, so there cannot even be the pretense of her going anywhere on official business.
I still would like to know who paid for a whole planeload of her and her friends, to go to Spain, and take over half of a resort hotel with all her hangers on.
Mrs. Let-Them Eat-Spinach-Cake, with her up-chuck school lunch menu, is creating millions of 6-year-old conservatives. Go, Michelle!
henkster: She is still campaigning on her last office she never got elected to: Food Nazi. Seems now, she is running for cover.
Must have a big cover for that lard arse.
Now, just eat your peas, don’t get wee weed up...and do what that girly boy Obama says....Remember...she told the low infos 8 years ago what Barry would REQUIRE.
Dilbert: Who pays for her LACE FRONT?
Oh...and who pays for his LACE FRONT?
So disgusted by this thin skinned little fraud and his beard.
Perhaps Chewbacca or the name Wookie might help.
How about Michelle X? After all, her daughter is named MALia.
“She’s awesome, but it just brings in the name Obama,”
Then there is that nasty school lunch program she forced down our throats. She is a pariah all by herself.
She is/was in Maine today campaigning for the homosexual Marxist that’s running for Gov.

News Flash - it’s not her name (although it does make me grind my teeth), it’s her personality and the sum of who she really is that is the liability.
