Michelle Obama Stresses Importance Of Iowa
Michelle Obama stopped in Quad City, IA, yesterday, and sharply raised expectations for her husband:
"I ask myself what the world I want to hand over to my girls is," Obama said.Of course, she made a case for her husband to become president, saying that America needs new leadership in the White House.
She said Barack needs Iowa to win. "Iowa will make the difference," Obama said. "If Barack doesn't win Iowa it is over."
A Strategic Vision poll released today shows Obama trailing slightly behind Clinton and Edwards: Clinton 24%, Edwards 22%, Obama 21%.
UPDATE: Ben Smith notes that Michelle may have been misquoted. ABC and NBC both note her saying: "If Barack doesn't win Iowa, it's just a dream. If we win Iowa, then we can move to the world as it should be."
UPDATE II: The Quad City Times has updated its story to include the quote used by ABC and NBC.
