Last night I watched Larry King interview Michelle Obama. She is intelligent, articulate and confident and I'm sure would represent the US very well as First Lady.
In the past week or so there has been a lot of attention in the media to the Billary phenomenon. It's clear that Bill's goal is to become an unelected advisor to Hillary.
Now I don't know much about Cindy McCain or Janet Huckabee. But it got me thinking that the role of First Spouse may need some rethinking for the 21st century. Do you still expect the FS to be simply a gracious hostess with a charitable cause? How much influence should he/she have in policy making?
So, just to make this interesting, let's have a poll on the four potential First Spouses. How do you rank them? Why?
