Hey Pundit Mom -
I enjoyed reading this post – maybe because I agree you completely. And because I blogged on something very similar earlier in July after reading an interview with Elizabeth Edwards in Salon. I think Michelle Obama ought to be her VP:

If I have one regret about the conference, it’s that I missed her speech. Thank you for confirming what I already suspected about this amazing woman. And yes – her accessibility and openness do make me think twice about the man who married her.

I'm sorry I missed it. It's interesting reading the different takes on her presentation. Intriguing that the other candidates haven't gotten on the blog bandwagon. That demonstrates an opportunity (a) for a writer in a very cool job---speaking from experience, it can be fun to write for candidates and (b) a potential real edge in the election.

Oh I saw a bumper sticker that made me LOL but ummm probably not appropriate to post. Rats.

I think her answer about religion most struck a chord with me too. Not everyone agrees that she was open and honest in her answers, but – having heard a lot of politicians speak and take questions (as I’m sure you have too, PM) – I thought she was refreshingly open.

I know she does this because her husband is running for public office. And, yes, many people won’t vote for her husband just because they like her, but some will. As a first lady, she will have a lot of power to drive policy and to set an agenda of her own. But – I also get the sense that she truly enjoys engaging and meeting new people.

I enjoyed hearing her speak too. My only question is why is she out doing this? Hearing her had no effect on whether or not I will vote for her husband.

PunditMom,

Though we did not get to meet at Blogher over the weekend, I would agree with you that Elizabeth was great. What struck me most was when the woman of faith asked her about her views. It was very brave and very powerful to hear her say that she is not going to ask anyone to cure her cancer. That was a remarkable statement to me and really spoke volumes.

I left with that and many other comments feeling like Ms. Edwards knows where it is at. Something I feel so many others don't.

I look forward to reading your blog more often.
