The ironic underlying story here is Clinton beat Obama in the Pennsylvania primary collecting 55% of the vote (Obama received 45%). Now it was her job to persuade them to switch their votes to him. Of course, she was willing to reiterate the economic crisis and Obama/Biden will lead us out of it.
What is curious is how the game is being played in the last few weeks before the election. The McCain campaign has bee throwing around the relationship Obama had with the founding member of the radical Weather Underground. On the other side of the political spectrum, the Obama campaign is highlighting McCain's role in the Keating Five scandal, which is quite similar to the AIG today.

I've been getting a flurry of e-mails (don't ask me how) about Michelle Obama's visit to Ft. Wayne tomorrow. The game is shameless at this point, whether it be through promotional speeches or slanderous attack advertisements. The election takes up just about all of the news we're being fed.
Think about it. Could a human being be a living ad for a presidential candidate? They're not wearing a sandwich board exactly, but then again, they're making sure the word is heard and ALL possible ears (no matter what kinds of people they are attached to) are reached. They're not exactly as disposable as buttons, either.
