It turns out that despite the media's yammering about Michelle Obama, she's quite popular - popular enough that the Washington Post devoted nearly 1,400 words to the topic today. But the paper apparently had trouble finding any Democrats to talk to - here's a list of everyone the Post quoted:

“Maxine Furlong, a Republican from Upstate New York who initially was not a fan:”

“Democrat Nancy Thompson”

“Bill Mazzilli, a Florida independent who voted for John McCain.”

“Randy Levensalor, an independent from Colorado who leans Republican”

Bill O'Reilly

Michelle Obama

David Axelrod

“Lynne Klaczak, a Florida Republican”

“Beverly Watson, 61, a Tennessee Republican”

“Kelly Lavalle, a 30-year-old financial adviser from Connecticut, is a Republican who voted for John McCain”

“New York Republican Maxine Furlong”
