That's the summation from just two remarkable hours yesterday that crystallised the final month of Campaign 2016. Michelle Obama has been on the campaign trail on behalf of Clinton before. Her speech in Philadelphia on the opening night of the Democratic convention helped turn a bad first day into a successful week. Subsequent speeches at campaign rallies have shown her to be as effective a surrogate as the former first lady has. Those are the parameters of the political debate as it stands today - and the choice that will be settled on Election Day.
