Poll question: Hillary or Michelle?
Here's what's happening in Sponkane, Washington at 6:00 pm today -

Hillary Clinton attends a “Solutions for America” town hall in Spokane, Washington

and

Michelle Obama holds a rally in Spokane, Washington

So, I ask: Where would you rather be? With Hillary or with Michelle?



or

4. certainly both
i would not be so rigid as to think that there's not some benefit to hearing both make their cases. at the end of the day, they're both good democrats with largely the same philosophical goals.

the raw quest for power, something we all rightly acknowledge as detrimental, is no less detrimental when we engage in it on our candidate's behalf.

22. Don't you think it's her jaw that makes her look mad??
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 11:46 AM by polichick
When the lower teeth are too far farward, people can look mean or angry. I'm surprised she hasn't had braces to move her jaw back a little ~ I know someone who did that, and it only took 6 months to reposition.

7. Rally's are fun, lets party, feel good events....yes they are entertainment ! Where as....
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 08:56 AM by ElsewheresDaughter
a "Town Hall Meeting" is not full of bells and whistles.....no music and rock stars or hollywood entertainment. It is just a plain out fashioned sit down and seriously talk about Policy and Issues kind of thing.....SUBSTANCE


Michele is not running for the presidency...and yet i see many of us would rather hear what she is selling instead of the real contender.


dear god are we screwed

10. Personally, Michele turns me off and I think she'll end up being a huge liability for Obama
I've listened to Michele give interviews. She can be a very angry person, prone to making serious verbal mistakes.

11. My younger son
will be voting in his first presidential election this fall. He had hoped that John Edwards would be our candidate, because he believed Edwards was the one who was most likely to improve the quality of life in this country for the working poor.

Last weekend, he listened to Michelle Obama when she spoke to the rally in California. Part way into her speech, he turned to me and said, "Wow! This lady should be president!"

I like both Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama. I'm glad to be a member of the same political party as both of them.

13. Today in Nebraska it's Michelle or Chelsea.. who would you rather see?
Hillary and Bill won't bother coming to the state of NE before our Caucus on Saturday.. but Obama flew in for an hour long 6pm Rally last night that was televised on one of the local newscasts. Talk about spreading the message! And, his wife Michelle is headed to Lincoln this afternoon to talk to the college kids on the UNL campus.

Chelsea Clinton is coming to Lincoln as well this afternoon - but it's sort of too little, too late.

I'd rather see Michelle then Chelsea!

Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 10:13 AM by adapa
It really depends on what type of voter you are. if you care about the specific or care about the inspiration.

it's really a head or heart answer

27. At least michele isn't afraid to wear a skirt or
dress...its like Hillary tries to be a man wearing pants all the time. I wear pants to but not all the time and dressing up for me for a meeting is a suit with a skirt or a nice dress not pants.

Everyone talks about her being the first woman...she is afraid to dress like one for fear of not looking strong enough.

32. Oh yes, Hillary is afraid to dress
"like a woman." Such BS, Kathryn Hepburn refused to "dress like a woman" too.

44. I guess you'd have a problem with a butch lesbian running for President then, Rachel Maddow say
Edited on Fri Feb-08-08 11:09 PM by VarnettaTuckpocket
What a "progressive" you are...

And btw, Rachel does describe herself as a butch lesbian and says she's often mistaken for male, before you accuse me of casting aspersions.

39. It's ridiculous, isn't it?
Right wing attacks left and right.

They obviously know NOTHING of Hillary's history. But I guess anymore, cluelessness is a virtue. A virtue of hope.

and if you posted this question the way the equation really works, then I'd go to see Bill instead of Michelle too.
