With material like this, how can we lose!

"Baltimore radio interviewer:
"One of the things, Ann Romney, that folks talk about with your husband, Mitt Romney...Sometimes he comes off stiff..."

Ann Romney:
"Well, you know, I guess we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out, because he's not!"

That's too hilarious.

I don't understand why so much attention is given to spouses during American elections. They aren't being voted for.

Even though the wives are not voted for, they (including the VP's) are used to advance their hubby's policies. They make foreign appearances, dedicate XYZ, etc. Not entirely unlike the Queen's flock. I remember Bush 2's wife was a librarian before her political life and goes around shilling for literacy and reading programs, which is not a bad thing.

In this case, Ann's an unpaid extra mouth promoting her hubby, so she gets interviews that paid mouths don't have time for or access to. You wouldn't find a male shill on an all-woman morning show, where you might be able to slide Ann in to.

It could be interesting to see what White House wives have done over the years, both pre- and post-election.
