Mitt Romney hits campaign trail as wife Ann says 'time for the grown-up to come'

Source: Newsday

Lifted by a show of Republican unity that once seemed so distant, Mitt Romney plunged into the presidential campaign's final 67 days focused more than ever on jobs and the economy, and depicting President Barack Obama as a well-meaning but inept man who must be replaced.

"America has been patient," he told the nation. "Americans have supported this president in good faith. But today, the time has come to turn the page."

Ann Romney made the rounds of Friday morning talk shows to pronounce her husband the right man to fix a troubled economy, and predicted that argument would win over women voters who haven't voted Republican in the past.

She said women tell her: "It's time for the grown-up to come, the man that's going to take this very seriously and the future of our children very, very seriously," Mrs. Romney said on CNN. "I very much believe this is going to be an economic election, and I think a lot of women may be voting this cycle around in a different way than they usually are, and that is thinking about the economy."

Besides insulting President Obama (at least she stopped short of calling him "boy" though it's implied if she's saying he isn't a grown-up), she's insulting women, saying that if they're thinking about the economy, "a lot of women may be voting this cycle around in a different way than they usually are."

And this snotty daughter of privilege (borrowing a newspaper description of her from an earlier campaign) is supposed to be Mitt's "secret weapon"?
