Where's Michelle Obama?

She hasn't been seen for weeks. Why isn't she stumping with BO? Are they trying to hide her so folks won't remember the things she has said that could hurt the BO campaign?

DB, I really don't recall seeing any of the spouses on prominent display recently. That would be like me saying that they are hiding Cindy McCain so that she will not have to answer tough questions. This is just a time when the principles are stumping.

I'm sorry, Mr Fair and Balanced, lets not kid ourselves here.

Cindy McCain has not said as many controversial things as Michelle Obama.
And Michelle Obama is much more of a polarizing figure than Cindy McCain.

The two are like night and day.

Cindy is on the platform each time McCain speaks at a rally. Just saw them at a rally (on tv) while I was at lunch.

RG, standing on the platform is a much safer place than doing in depth interviews and stumping independently where you actually have to hold a mic. I'm just saying that I don't get the impression that they are hiding MO due to the fact that she did two prime one on one interviews in the last week and has been campaigning and speaking even independently of BO. I'm not saying that Cindy McCain is not in the shots with John McCain, I'm saying that if they wanted to hide Michelle Obama she would either be out of sight completely or standing backstage while Barack Obama spoke. I just get tired of people saying sensational things that doesn't add up. She has been perhaps the most visible and for sure the most vocal spouse in the campaign...and yes that includes the past few weeks. If you google the amounts of speeches delivered recently by spouses, it will probably bear that out.

It's probably the news channel that you are watching. Cindy introduces her husband many times - - a couple days ago she talked for quite awhile before she turned it over to him. She did a great job!

I'm not sure the major networks care to interview Cindy.

I wouldn't know why. If Gov. Palin can be interviewed, an interview with CM won't be NEARLY as painful.

She, I am guessing here without searching it out, is probably going to friendly outlets to do her speaking and interviews. Situations in which she would get softball questions, or people wanting to conduct "girl talk". As far as on the stump conducting speeches outlining policy or discussing the issues I don't think she's doing like she was back during the primaries.

And I haven't seen her at his side for a while.

Well she just left my old neck of the woods actually headlining with Biden. I wish you would have said you were guessing from the beginning
