Slog - Comments on South Side Girl http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/south_side_girl Michelle Obama isn't speaking until 8 p.m. (Denver time) tonight, but the Obama campaign is already pushing out excerpts of her speech and a summary of a video piece, called South Side Girl, that will introduce Michelle. The dominant theme is that she's an American woman with a deeply American story. Got that? American! This is intended, of course, to combat Republican attempts to paint Michelle Obama as somehow anti-American, angry, and, like her husband, too much of an unknown quantity. Some advance excerpts from her speech, which Annie Wagner will be liveblogging and which Slog readers tell us you...

Is there going to be music to the tune of "Up Town Girl"?

There are easily ten well know names who could pounce to get that seat, and some others as well.

Better have money, money, and some very smart people on your side ....

Awaiting the Pile, biting, clawing and scratching
