"But when Michelle Obama addresses the convention tonight, her message will not be notably different from Ann Romney’s in Tampa, where the GOP met last week. She will try to illuminate her husband as president, explaining why he made certain decisions as president, what drives him and how he sees the next four years evolving.
Headed into the final stretch of this election, Michelle Obama and Ann Romney are aggressively campaigning, raising money and carrying vital parts of their husbands’ message. “She has such insight into the president as a person, what motivates him, what informs his worldview,” says David Axelrod, one of the president’s closest advisers. “She’s going to talk about the past 3½ years. There is no one else who can do that as powerfully.”
It’s the latest step into the spotlight by Michelle Obama in the 2012 campaign: She has been on the stump for months, crisscrossing the country to energize the base.
Given her experience in the 2008 campaign — when the slightest misstep could drive an angry backlash — campaign sources say the first lady will not be taking on the Republicans on Tuesday night, or ever. “She will be positive,” says one source, who has seen the speech. “She will not criticize Gov. Romney or [vice presidential nominee] Congressman [Paul] Ryan.”
