Teresa Heinz and Michelle Obama teamed up at a rally yesterday at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Heinz got mixed reviews campaigning for husband John Kerry last time around. She’s still not ready for prime time.

Michelle Obama says Barack is tough because he’s mixed it up with the big boys in mean old Chicago politics. But he’s been able to “rise above it.” And he knows how to work with others to make “stuff happen.” But he’s still tough. And he’s got a lot of experience. Or something.
