Wow - it doesn't look like anyone is putting Cindy McCain on a pedestal here. The discussion just seems to be about how acceptable it is to bring candidates' wives into the public debate.
I don't see anything wrong with Shiner's posts in this thread. He's not an Obama fan, and he doesn't think that Michelle Obama should be free from criticism. I don't see the problem.
Back on the subject - the statements of potential First Ladies don't make such a difference to me. It's interesting to see where they stand, but it's by no means determinative. If the potential first lady tries to make herself an issue in the campaign (like Theresa Heinz Kerry did during the last cycle), I think they open themselves up to some criticism. I don't think it deserves the same scrutiny as comments made by candidates, though.
