In it to win it? How tacky:

“I know that Barack is in this not just to win,” Michelle Obama told the crowd of more than 1,500 people at a $100-per-head event at the Grand Hyatt Hotel on East 42nd Street.

“This race is not about winning, because winning isn’t enough nowadays. Winning without dignity, winning it without honor, winning without authenticity and truth is not winning at all, and we’re not in it for that.”

Earlier, Michelle Obama said, “Barack is the real deal . . . Barack is really exactly who he says he is. You know, there’s no hidden agenda to this guy. He is decent, he is sincere, he is authentic, he isn’t manufactured.”

Moral purity and demagoguery alert!
