Breaking news! A parallel universe does indeed exist, and either John Harwood or I inhabit it. The irrefutable evidence came this evening, as Harwood of CNBC/NYT claimed that Michelle Obama will be—albeit slightly–more of an asset to her husband's campaign than will Cindy McCain to that of her spouse.

Here was Harwood's response on this evening's Race for the White House to a question from host David Gregory about the respective roles the two spouses will play in the coming campaign.


JOHN HARWOOD: Yes, look, I don't know how you match up spouses, and obviously people generally speaking aren't going to vote on that. Cindy McCain looks a little bit more exotic, she's a little richer than Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama has a little bit more of the average, middle-class housewife look about her, she's got young kids. So, I'm not sure there's a big advantage for either side, if I had to give any I'd say slight advantage to Michelle Obama.

On my cable line up, all the cable news channels are one after another, CNN CNN HLN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC, CNBC... and 90% of the time when surfing past those channels, cnn, cnn hln, msnbc and cnbc will all be talking about bambam, and only Fow will not, or maybe mentioning mccain. It's fucking ridiculous, and so noticeable it's pathetic.

cnn, cnn hln, msnbc, cnbc = YOU RAH RAH BAMBAM!
