We all know First Lady Michelle Obama loves her husband. Most political wives do. But other than that, what exactly was the point of her speech last night? Whatever it was, the front page editors of the major papers in this election’s swing states didn’t pick up on it.

Miami Herald says “We Must Stand Together”

Orlando Sentinel has Obama “On Track” … but to where?

Tampa Bay Times “Right Thing To Do”

Columbus Dispatch says she set a tone, but doesn’t say what that tone was

Cleveland Plain Dealer went with Strickland over First Lady


Cincinnati Enquirer didn’t even mention her

Des Moines Register gave their front page to Paul Ryan

Denver Post has Dems taking the stage … but what did the say?

Las Vegas Journal Review has Michelle calling for patience

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has Michelle sharing “personal side”
