Three weeks to go...

After attending the debate in Long Island, Michelle Obama will travel to Pittsburgh on Thursday and participate in the "change we need" rally. Surprisingly, Obama also spent time today in Indiana, not a swing state but a crucial state nonetheless, and addressed a crowd of more than 2,000 in Fort Wayne. At the rally, Obama referenced the hardships of working class Americans, the forgotten "American Dream" and the tumult of the economy. Needless to say, Obama has been relentless over the past month on the campaign trail.

The dominant news story regarding Cindy McCain the past few days is "Cindy McCain asked and got phone coverage," in which "Verizon delivered a portable tower free of charge to the ranch property after an online request from Cindy McCain's staff."

Needless to say the McCain camp is outraged at the article and mentioned that the McCains went through the same process as everyone else to get coverage at their Arizona ranch. In recent visits, Cindy McCain visited the Montgomery County Community College Tuesday morning in Pennsylvania for a Women's Town Hall Meeting. The big rally this week for Cindy McCain is in the swing state of Virginia where she will join Sen. McCain for a rally in Prince William, VA on Saturday.

Must-See Potential First Lady Moment of the Week: They say that art is the most representative form of the human being and the sculpture of Michelle Obama still hanging in Manhattan's Kesting Gallery, offers what gallery director Kesting says is a look into the "fundamentally proud(ness) of our country's diversity." There have been a few protests over the piece, citing claims of racism but the sculpture will remain in gallery space until the election. No official word yet on the rumors of a Bristol Palin portrait bust mentioned in the article.



Michelle Obama bust



The Bust of Nefertiti

Lemme Guess, They Visited More States. OMG NO WAY?!

Hundreds of military families attended Michelle Obama's in Jacksonville, North Carolina. At this rally Michelle explained that her husband understands the situations military families deal with and that he is the best choice in that regard. She then moved on to New Hampshire, a swing state that her husband lost to Hillary Clinton in the primaries. Interestingly enough, at the moment Obama is leading McCain in the NH polls. In an outdoor rally Mrs. Obama promoted her husbands calm and intelligent demeanor during the debate, saying that he would bring this attitude and behavior into the White House. Apparently her next stop will be in Minnesota, the details of the campaign stop have not been released. Minnesota is considered by both campaign groups as a battle ground state and McCain will be visiting this Friday.

Without actually doing much this week Cindy McCain has made some very big noise. On Tuesday while visiting a Hospital at Vanderbilt (Tennessee), Cindy claimed that "presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama has 'waged the dirtiest campaign in American history.' Thats quite a statement coming from John McCain's wife.. Today Mrs. McCain was in Pennsylvania and once again attacked Obama. This time her attack, which was not entirely accurate, was in regards to her son's military service and Obama not wanting to fund the troops. Cindy challanged Barack to change shoes with her for a day and see what it feels like as a Navy mom.









Though I find it hard to imagine Barack trying on these bad boys.










Must-See Potential First Lady of the Week:

BREAKING NEWS "Sarah Palin and Cindy McCain's Secret Style Adviser Revealed"

She goes by the name of Gahl Hodges Burt. Apparently she was Nancy Reagon's so called party planner and is also known as the most chic woman in Washington (I'm sure thats tough.. I mean Hillary is pretttttty cute) This discovery kind of contradicts Palin's claims of a regular "hockey mom" from a middle class family. Rumor has it her sons actually play cricket.

--------------------------
We are still waiting for our friends at the FOX "News" Network on Michelle's response to the Baby Breath Roses. Stay tuned, its gonna be a biggie. Maybe a deciding factor in Election 2008.

Keeping at it

Michelle Obama in Saganaw, Michigan

Colorado, North Carolina, Florida and Michigan are among the states Michelle Obama has paid visit to recently. The potential First Lady was campaigning today in Saginaw and Clinton Township (no relation to Bill and Hillary Clinton) emphasizing the need to vote come November. This marks the second time in five days that Michelle Obama has spent time in Michigan. Interestingly, Michelle now has company on the campaign trail as the Obama camp recently enlisted Bruce Springsteen and rapper Jay-Z for benefit concerts.

On Tuesday, Cindy McCain was in Des Moines Iowa, visiting with her husband who participated in an economics roundtable. While Iowa is still up in the air as a key battleground state, former McCain adviser Mike Murphy called the visit "a waste of time." In other news, the Phoenix mansion that Cindy McCain grew up in is up for auction. The McCains sold the home for 3.2 million dollars in 2006 and the current owners are now putting the 13 bedrooms and 14 and a-half bath home up for sale again. Those interested should note the recently added wine-tasting room and home theater, no word yet on minumum bid.

Must-see Potential First Lady Moment of the Week: Not a moment this week but a series of life-changing moments in the life of Cindy McCain all thanks to ABC News Timeline. Here's the potential First Lady being named the Junior Rodeo Queen of Arizona:

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!"
Before and After (From Left to Right)

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."
