Politics can be romantic, according to Michelle Obama.

While campaigning for gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke (D-Wis.) in her quest to unseat Republican Gov. Scott Walker, the first lady offered some dating advice: "Bring that cute guy or girl you have that crush on. That's a good reason to connect," she said to a group of college students in Madison. "Just a tip! Trust me, they'll be impressed."

Let's hope the fluorescent lighting of your local polling place doesn't kill the mood.
