It wasn't that long ago that such a slogan would seem absurd, but political wags are beginning to wonder whether Michelle Obama is mulling a run for Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk's seat in 2016.
A Thursday column in Reuters suggests that Obama would be the only candidate with a large enough profile to unseat the Republican.
The column also points to Obama's recent willingness to debate the merits of her school lunch program with Republicans, a trip to China, fundraising and her stance on the kidnapped Nigerian school girls as other signs that her tone is turning more political.
It's not the first time Obama has been mentioned as a potential senatorial candidate, but that speculation has always focused beyond 2016. And the First Lady herself has never publicly indicated any interest in seeking political office.
But just like a senator named Barack Obama who decided to run for president in 2008 when many thought he should wait his turn, politics are often about timing.
She would quickly become the most recognizable face in the Senate. Her fame and fundraising ability would command deference in a body that normally operates on seniority. Whether the recent elevation of her profile suggests a plan to run is unclear, but she will be well positioned should she jump in. -- Reuters
There's also that 2012 Public Polling Policy survey showing the first lady picking up 51 percent of the vote against Kirk's 40 percent if they were to run."
I hate to break it to everyone, but this is just more masturbating from the MSM who don't know how to report real news. This lazy woman will never run for anything and if she did, she would lose. Just look at the one thing she has done in her whole life, forcing people to eat healthy, and see how much people hate it. Kids in schools protested until schools ditched it. She has nothing in her resume but no show jobs and has never done a days work in her life. She would implode in a Senate run in about a week.
Hitlary ain't running either MSM. It is historically tough for a party in the WH 2 terms to make it a third, especially when the President is hated like Zero. Running some tired old bag with a sketchy resume isn't even gonna get close to winning the election. My bet is that the Rats dig up some nobody that has no record that is Hispanic or Jerry Brown.

I also see her as just too damn lazy even to either campaign or show up and vote present. Why be bothered when she could flounce around in luxury as ex-Flotus.
OTH never underestimate the value of vote fraud.
The FLOTUS might make history and become the first immigrant from Kashyyyk to be elected to the senate.
My guess is she will run for a Senate seat after all the Obama's can't have the White First Lady Clinton with her White Privilege to be the only one to do it
