COMMENTS: Meet Michelle
Instead of interviewing the candidates, ABC sent Deborah Roberts (embargoed link) to Chicago to sit down with Michelle Obama, the candidate's wife. Roberts observed that both Democrats have "passionate spouses" quoting the "strident" label on Michelle and "scrappy and racially insensitive" for Bill. "That stuff has got to hurt a little?" Roberts asked. "You know it does not hurt when you win." Roberts inquired about identity politics and demographic-based voting. "What I am bothered by are people who say: 'I am going to vote for you just because you are black' or 'Just because you are a woman.'" "You do not want black folks voting for your husband just because he is black?" "No. No."
