I think Michelle Obama will put off some white voters because she preaches the "poor is me" a little too much. if anything, she is the largest purveyor of class warfare that I have seen in this election. And perhaps that will bring some of the middle class populist vote, but her "diary of an angry black woman" routine is sure to (*)(*)(*)(*) off a lot of people too.

By the way, I don't see Cindy McCain out there on the campaign trail giving speeches, so to say she's a drag on McCain's run is moot. She is doing exactly as she should, keeping herself quiet because she knows she's a liability. Michelle Obama just doesn't get the fact that she is too.
