Ann Romney hit the ball out of the park tonight. They married young lived in a basement apartment--using a pull out ironing board as the kitchen table--and for a desk --a table that was supported by saw horses. She had her 1st son in this apartment while Mitt was working toward getting his two degrees. Romney's father didn't achieve a college education until after Mitt was born--Ann's grandfather was a coal miner. Ann is Episcopalian--Mitt Mormon.
She talked about raising 5 boys--(not easy)--and just briefly mentioned her MS and breast cancer.
The home run came when Ann looked the T.V. audience in the face and said "you need to listen to this." Mitt doesn't like to talk about the people he has helped in life--because he considers that a privilege--not a political talking point. She also stated that no one handed Mitt his success--he "BUILT" his own success.
At any rate--according to Twitter activity which was being polled--even left leaning women gave Ann Romney's speech a very high rating. Ann Romney is going to make a great first lady--she appealed to every woman in this country tonight.
