Click here to be taken to video of Michelle Obama saying that her husband's campaign is making her proud of America for the first time in her adult life.
The mind fairly reels.
Too bad for Hillary that she can't take advantage of this -- calling somebody on being an America-hater doesn't get you any votes in Democratic primaries. If DNC Chairman Howard Dean were capable of the slightest bit of introspection, he might want to look at why that might be.

Florida primary predictions
By Rick Morris
For the donkeys, in a yawner, Hillary will top 50% in what would have to be called the dubiously-named beauty pageant. That designation comes from political pundits looking for some way to offer some context to a glorified straw poll, since the Democratic National Committee yanked all the delegates away from the Sunshine State for moving its primary up without authorization. This victory will not, and should not, be taken as any time of substantive refutation for the mighty hiney-whooping she took in South Carolina over the weekend, but the shameless Clintonian spin machine will try to push that garbage anyway.
On the Republican side, the toughest prediction of any of the contests to date looms. John McCain and Mittens are running neck-in-neck continuously in the polls. Based on the very little I can discern from the polls in recent days, I give the slightest of edges to McCain based on apparent momentum coming from the endorsement of Governor Charlie Crist and the fact that he is trending better on Intrade at the moment. "America's Mayor Rudy" will be a distant third, a prelude to his coming withdrawal from the race, and The Huck's slide will culminate in a fourth-place plummet.
