How low can the Romney campaign go?
After finally handing Santorum a spanking at the debate they decide not to let Romney blow it by having him go to another debate.
But rather than make this controversial decision himself, and have to answer questions about it, Romney lets his wife announce it. I guess if we want to get other answers about the campaign and his policies we should just skip talking to Mitt and talk to Ann.
Should he become President I would guess that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs would be somewhat surprised to try and call Mitt at 3 AM only to find that Ann has said "no more 3 am calls".
Way to hide behind the spouse Mitt.

TROY, Michigan Apparently, Ann Romney is tired of sitting in the audience at the Republican debates she's ready to get in on the action.
While introducing Mitt Romney at an event sponsored by Americans For Prosperity, the candidate's wife sang his praises, and then joked that she should just take his spot at the podium.
"I also decided no more debates," she said, as her husband stood next to her. "If we're going to do another debate, he's going to just sit in the audience and watch me."
CNN canceled a debate that had been scheduled for March 1, after Romney pulled out, citing scheduling difficulties.

"My wife owns two Cadillacs, I own a truck, I've owned a Dodge, I own a Ford, etc., etc."

(17,656 posts)That way the other Republican candidates can't call him a quitter.
She's the one they chose to make the announcement for Mitt that he was pulling out of a scheduled debate, so they can't call her a chicken.
But, with those legs that she has, what else can come to mind?
I've seen better legs on a kitchen table!
