Right now I’m watching some C-Span coverage of a rally from last Thursday. Michelle Obama talking to a large crowd somewhere in Pennsylvania. It is probably the first time I’ve watched her in a really extended setting… a full length speech rather than just a few minutes here or there, usually when introducing her husband. I just have to say, she is pretty damn impressive in her own right.

So when does she start her run for Senate? If Barack becomes President, I understand there will be a vacancy in Illinois. :-)
