Obama making a comeback?
Obama plays well in focus group

Obama (only Democrat) beats Rudy McRomney

Romney and Edwards lead in Iowa Poll, Hillary is last among Democratic front runners.

I'm not making any predictions. I think it's too early to think these polls mean anything. Actually, my point is too show that the polls won't show us a damn thing until sometime in the fall (or until Gore announces).

By Philip Sherwell in New York, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 11:37pm BST 12/05/2007

As a fluent public speaker, independent-minded wife, devoted mother and professional woman,
Michelle Obama has been hailed as an invaluable asset to her husband Barack's mission to
capture the Democratic 2008 presidential nomination.

Yet, while her style and performance are winning plaudits on the campaign trail, a little-
reported business interest of Mrs Obama's has opened her husband up to one of the criticisms
that politicians fear most - the taint of hypocrisy.

Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, Obama called a hypocrite for wife's Wal-Mart link

She is taking a break from her main job, as a well-remunerated Chicago hospital executive, to
campaign for her husband. But she has just been re-elected to the board of an Illinois food-
processing company, a position she took up two years ago to gain experience of the private sector.

Filed under: Wal-Mart (WMT), Politics

You can always tell when political campaigns change from first gear to second gear.
The wife of Democratic U.S. Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has resigned from a
part-time position at TreeHouse Foods (NYSE: THS), a major Wal-Mart Stores (NYSE: WMT)
vendor. This move comes a week after her husband said he would not shop at Wal-Mart
based on its anti-union stance.

4. Apparently she once ordered Chinese take out.
And as we all know, China is a major supplier for Walmart.

9. I suppose.
