First Lady For Murray

Michelle Obama visited Washington state today, in order to help campaign for Patty Murray. She spoke at two separate fundraisers raising money for Murray's tough campaign against Dino Rossi. Mrs. Obama explained that Murray's re-election is crucial for the president to accomplish his agenda in a friendly Congress.  She said, "This election isn’t just about all that we’ve accomplished these past couple of years. This election is about all that we have left to do in the months and years ahead." Michelle Obama was trying to excite and encourage voters to vote for Democrats, especially Patty Murray. This is yet another popular name endorsing Murray and trying to get Democratic voters out to polls. It will be impossible to know the exact impact of Murray getting all these endorsements. But one thing is for certain, the Democrats are trying to send all of their big players to Washington in what might be a desperate attempt to keep as many Democrats in office as possible.
