For the sake of argument, let's say women voters make up 50% of the populace. All other things bring equal, we all lean toward candidates that are intelligent, articulate and good looking - sorry this is human nature for the masses. Studies conducted many times over confirm this as accurate. So again let's say this is also an accurate assumption. If Michelle O does well on the View, and she has made a favorable impression on 50% of the voting populace, other factors being equal, this should result in more votes for Obama. Couple this with his other powerhouse backer - Oprah Winfry, and her very devoted audience (think of the effect she has on book sales for any book she reads and endorses on her book club)...and Obama has an opportunity to really capture a very large portion of female voters. This is not to say at all that women would be swayed only by this backing or these shows, it is only an observation of what may sway their opinions overall and result in votes for a candidate that appeals to a formidable voting bloc!

There is no 'fairness law' preventing any candidate or their spouse from appearing on any television program they want to be on. Most of these shows invite all of the candidates and/or their spouses and take whoever accepts. Especially since the Fairness in Televison Act (aka the equal time principle) was rpealed by Ronald Reagan. So none of you right wingnuts have any right to complain if someone you consider to be liberal gets on the air with some free advertising. Personally, it's not a show i would normally watch and won't watch this time, either. It won't hurt the Obama campaign with anyone who matters. This is a show that serves a particular demographic and it is smart to use any vehicle at your disposal to get your message targeted at certain groups. There is absolutely no reason for Michelle to apologize to anyone for this appearance just because a few people don't like the show. Some of these comments amaze me.

Obama's wife is doing what the other candidates wives are doing...talking up their husband's candidacy. Bill Clinton does the same. I would not vote for Obama because he has never run a business, large or small or a city or a State and his backround is problematic but that said he looks good, talks good and is giving Hillary Clinton fits. That is what I really like about him. Obama's wife has appeared WITH OTHER CANDIDATES WIVES, including Mrs.Romney, McCain,Thompson and Edwards on a show hosted by Maria Schriver Schwarzenegger.
