I think being an effective First Lady is first of all being the partner that your husband needs.

I'm part of a community that holds each other up, and it's been great to be held up too.

Concentrate on the things that matter to you.

I do think voters do take into consideration - particularly early state voters - take into consideration a wide range of factors, including electability, and they know that part of electability is the total package that you're presenting.
