As an attack dog, I mean.

I think I remember Laura, Hillary, Tipper, Elizabeth, etc., maybe speaking to women's groups or some such about what great guys their husbands were.
But I don't remember them attacking their husbands' opponents.
Do you?

I think Cindy's WAY over the line.
Desperation.

1. Cindy's seeing her dream of becoming first lady slip sliding away and she's pissed.

3. She's just mad because...
she wanted to top Queen Nancy as most obnoxious First Lady.

5. Rachel asked Andrea Mitchell that last night
and Andrea said that they couldn't find a similar comparison in history, to potential first ladies who have gone this far. Nice precedent, Cindy.

7. Meghan had visions of being "first daughter" also, but from the
look on her face the other night at the debate, she saw it all go away. Sorry kid.....

8. I know this may sound mean.....but, I ....
believe that having McCain elected President means
everything to CynDeE.
I think for a long time she has pictured the role of
first lady as her birthright and she must feel like this
is her last chance.

I don't feel sorry for her.
I want Michelle Obama to be our First Lady.
I want it as much as I want Mr. Obama to be our President.

And for all the correct reasons.

11. She's a classic co-dependent of an abusive spouse.
Nothing more, nothing less. Obama makes him mad and it's her role to make him happy. It angers her that Obama makes John mad because this makes her job that much harder. She is really very ill.

Just my opinion and my Dr. Frist diagnosis. ;-)
