Illinois Senate: Mrs.Obama to run for office?

First Lady Michelle Obama has created much buzz. Good or bad? That is yet to be determined.  But recent polls in Illinois has shown that the First Lady is not only dishing out regulations to your children's cafeterias and local restaurants, but serving up wide favoritism among constituents for future aspirations in Congress:

In a Dec. 5 roundup of Illinois poll data, Public Policy Polling said Michelle Obama leads Sen. Mark Kirk in a hypothetical 2016 Senate matchup.

The polling firm said the first lady leads Kirk 51-40 in the could-be race. Kirk's approval rating, according to voters polled, is 34 percent, with a disapproval rating of 19 percent. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama tops out with a 60 percent approval rating, with a 33 percent disapproval.

Fortunately, (for now) Michelle Obama has been very emphatic that future plans to run for office are "nonexistent."  Her plate is currently full: drawing up even more aggravating restrictions for our youth's lunch-time meals.  Let Americans "gear-up" and prepare for a solid fight against another Clinton in 2016 before we run for the hills if Michelle were to be the next "trend-setter" amongst recent first ladies.  I'm confident that the GOP has a stronger base if that were so.
