Meghan McCain: Ann Romney is Mitt's "best weapon in his back pocket to humanize him."

Right now on Thomas Roberts' show.

All morning long, MSNBC has been predicting that Ann Romney's speech is going to be a game-changer that will show America what a wonderful group of people the Romneys are.

This is a pretty weak best weapon. I see he keeps it there with the Koch bros. and Adelson;in his back pocket.

Do they really want to go THERE again?

Am I the only one that doesn't really care what Meghan thinks?

entitled glory talking about how "you people" don't need to see their tax returns or question anything they say.

Show her saying how glad she is that mothers of infants and small children are forced to go out to work.

Show her claiming that they struggled so much when first married that they actually had to cash in some of their stocks to supplement their income.

Show her with her horse and underline that lovely little tax exemption the horse provides.

WE should trot Ann out front and center and let the American voters get a really good look at her!

Ann Romney is out there to sell her husband. Will she be the one to humanize Romney? I think she will look more human perhaps, but Romney will still walk his walk and talk his talk and I doubt you can change Romney's walk.

either one of them opens their mouths, I find myself struggling to figure out which one of them I dislike the most.

Both of them have so many unappealing characteristics, it's just really difficult.
