Battle of the wives: Ann Romney vs. First Lady Obama

I thought that Ann Romney was the best speech of the RNC, but FLOTUS really blew the doors off the place tonight. I bet the ratings are a lot higher too. It just feels to me like Michelle is more of a real person than the Romneys.

POLL: Better convention speech, Ann or Michelle?

Sadly, Ann is winning that poll.

The real poll is in November, though.

they swarm to online polls, and any articles they find, to peddle their hate dust.

Your'e right, the only poll that matters is where we go to cast our votes in November.

she seemed to be channeling Oprah - I think that is the only woman she has heard speak publicly.

I have a FB page with over 12K fans (and I know a lot of others that do too) that says Michelle wins this little poll.

EDIT TO ADD:

Michelle is climbing fast! Muwahahaha!

10. Ann Romney's speech was written for a time

when women primarily got married and stayed at home. It is great for those that can do it now a days but most women don't have that luxury. Michelle Obama's speech was the more authentic speech for the 21st Century.

15. Ann gets early points for major Botox, but Michelle easily pulled ahead with intelligence and grace.
