Michelle Obama Watch

Women of all races are flocking to Gina McCauley's new blog, Michelle Obama Watch:

Gina McCauley's blog on African-American women in pop culture has never attracted this kind of attention.

The 3-year-old site has a mostly African-American audience. But she launched a new Michelle Obama Watch blog in June to monitor and critique media coverage of the potential first lady, and since then, feminists of all colors have been linking and commenting.

"I think new bridges are being built, and I'm excited about that," said McCauley, 32, of Austin, Texas, who noted the response to the new blog has been exponentially greater from feminist bloggers around the country. [Baltimore Sun]

"Michelle Obama Watch is a repository of all of the criticism, praise, and general chicanery thrown at Michelle Obama between now and November. If Barack wins… well, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it, but for right now, we are looking at a 5 month obligation. If it has anything to do with Michelle, it will be on Michelle Obama Watch," according to MOW's About page.
