She meant "support" as in simple support, not going out and knocking on doors and hading out buttons like the Spinmeisters suggest.

Even if we were to accept your fairy tale account, a potential presidential spouse should know how such things can be taken, thus she should have given a simple "yes" in response. This is what Clinton supports get at when they point at the Obamas' political inexperience. These are the types of dumb blunders (windsurfing, crawling around in a bio-suit, "I was for it before I was against it") that helped sink John Kerry in 2004, and is the type of Rovian shit that would be directed at him if he were to win the nomination.

If they can't handle it now, I shudder to think of them trying to handle it in the fall.
