Confusion on the Trail

An unlucky charm?

Though the fund raiser had been called off earlier this week, Cindy McCain did in fact visit a fund raising event in Seattle's Eastern Suburbs earlier today. Turns out, it was a simple miscommunication/confusion among McCain's aides. Husband John McCain, had originally expressed his desire to suspend the campaign in order to concentrate on the current economic crisis. On the bright side, Cindy's visit was successful and did raise an undisclosed amount of money.
Unfortunately, the McCain's are being blasted from all sides. Their honesty was called into question after it was revealed that they own 13 cars, only one of which happens to be an American model. This may not strike you as significant, until a certain John McCain quote is brought into play. "I've bought American literally all my life and I'm proud." It's difficult to imagine that Mr. McCain misspoke, after all but one of the cars are registered under Cindy's name. Funny how that works.

Michelle Obama earned some major mileage this week.

The potential first-lady made three stops in Wisconsin including West Allis, Madison and Wausau. During her campaign stop in Madison, Mrs. Obama focused on the women and young. Today Michelle was back in North Carolina. Once again she was joined by former Hillary Clinton supporter Maya Angelou. Angelou introduced Mrs. Obama to the loud and excited crowd in Greensboro.

Michelle's next campaign stop will be on Saturday in Tallahassee, Florida. There she will be joined by Jill Biden, wife of vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden. This will be Michelle's first time back to Florida since this past July where she meet officials of the Adult Literacy League. The focus of the trip will be to encourage younger voters and to display the importance of registering to vote.

Must-see Potential First Lady Moment of the Week:

Dr. David Sire, an expert cosmetic doctor recently is one of many who believes Cindy McCain has received cosmetic treatments of some sort recently. However Dr. Sire recommends that Cindy go a little further in her "touching up."

• Botox not just for the forehead but also around her eyes.
• A cheek and jowl lift.
• Surgical treatment for sagging skin on her neck.
• Fractional laser treatment of the skin of her face and neck.
• Possibly some fillers under her eyes.

Then Dr. Sire's says, "She would look great!"

Still busy on the campaign trail

Both potential First Ladies are keeping busy at fundraisers, events and public appearances on the campaign trail.

Yesterday, Michelle Obama was in Durham, North Carolina where she coordinated a fundraising event and spoke on a whole slew of topics including Hillary, Iraq and that persistent keyword, change. Among those in attendance were famed author Maya Angelou and the Mayor of Durham Bill Bell.

Hitting the trail again, Obama will travel to Madison, Wisconsin on Monday to speak at another rally. While in Wisconsin, she will also discuss economics at a roundtable discussion in Wausau, WI. This will be her first visit back to Wisconsin since the February Democratic primary.

Meanwhile, Cindy McCain has been quite active on the campaign trail herself. This coming week, she will replace VP candidate Sarah Palin and be the key attendee at a Seattle fundraiser on Wednesday. Dinner with the potential First Lady will cost $1000 per plate.

Must-see Potential First Lady Moment of the Week: Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain's recent sparring over abortion. Appearing with Jill Biden, Michelle Obama remarked that the issue shouldn't be ignored.

Prior to that, Cindy McCain said on Good Morning America that "there are people without jobs, that are hurting, whose businesses who have collapsed and that "this is not the major issue on people's minds right now."
