Speaking by phone in an interview for TV One this week, first lady Michelle Obama offered this final advice in advance of today's election:
"That's my message to voters, this isn't about Barack. It's not about person on that ballot; it's about you. And for most of the people we are talking to, a Democratic ticket is the clear ticket that we should be voting on regardless of who said what or did this — that shouldn't even come into the equation. Voting is critical no matter who's on the ballot." [Daily Caller]
