Will she start her own career?

The Democratic National Committee announced this weekend that Michelle Obama will be the headline speaker the first night of this year's convention, Aug. 25.

Her speech no doubt will bring to mind the speech early in the previous Democratic convention by her husband, current Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. It's said by many to have been his springboard onto the national stage.

I can't help but wonder, in four or eight years, if we'll see Michelle Obama running her own campaign, zig-zagging across the country trying to sway voters.

We've heard her speak many times before, but her words on that August night in Denver should be fascinating. She's spent nearly two years on the campaign trail already but probably just is beginning to know what it's like to be in the spotlight.

To call on NBC's old marketing campaign of the early 1990s, it will be "Must See TV."
