Hey, whatever happened to Romney's "Secret Weapon" (Ann)?

Where is she? Wasn't she supposed to charm people into liking stiff old Mitt?

I thought she was going to go out into the masses and convert voters with her loveliness and her warmth! But she has disappeared without a trace!

What happened?

and "like if you think Ann Rmoney would be the best first lady evah".

So she's definitely being used to 'sell" something but its now a silent campaign.

Did I say housework? I meant she's used to living the life of the idle rich, and is probably fatigued by now. Maybe she's in charm boot camp this week:

I know if I had to deal with that haughty bitch for more than an hour or two, I'd be tired of her for sure.

falling off stage at last debate was charming. She actually was trying to help him. In my mind, she did. It was unfortunate that he needed help to begin with, but she came to the rescue with a smile, which was probably very hard to do. I really feel for her being married to that man. I know, she is in cahoots with him, but I still feel for her, even more so. This, IMHO, was the most Romney humanizing bit of the whole campaign. I also actually felt sorry for Mitt, as it looked to me like he had a meltdown. I would be very wary of his mental health also, if I were his wife, heaven forbid.

by anyone in the repuke camp. they don't want a "foot in the mouth moment" (which would surly happen) to be their final nail in the coffin.

You are right. No more interviews. She might get mad or start whining...
