Michelle Obama

[EmersonAdams]

I don't think it's likely Michelle will seek higher office, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if she did. She has not been nearly as influential in the White House as Hillary was, but she has pretty wide approvals and she is a genuinely smart lady.

I doubt she'll ever run for the presidency, but I can see her being elected senator or appointed to someones cabinet, a la Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Dole (not that dole was first lady, but she was close). She seems a little too "nice" for the role, but it seems to me she has widespread respect and admiration. I don't think she's nearly as involved in major policy as Hillary was for Bill, but I still think she'd have a shot.
