From the same CBS News /interview that Allahpundit highlighted yesterday, Mitt’s wife Ann Romney added a few interesting tidbits to the conversation:
Ann Romney: Obama's whole campaign strategy is "let's kill this guy"
Firstly, I think Mrs. Romney has it exactly right on Obama’s core campaign strategy:
“I feel like all he’s doing is saying, ‘Let’s kill this guy,” she said, seated next to her husband… “And I feel like that’s not really a very good campaign policy. …
In August, some Democratic strategists let leak to the press that Obama’s top aides were looking at a massive character takedown of Romney in light of a deterring economy; “kill Romney” was a phrase used by one. “That was their memo that came out from their campaign,” Ann Romney said. “And it’s like, ‘not when I’m next to him you better not.”
With the economy oscillating somewhere between mildly demoralizing and positively terrible, Obama can’t run on his vast record of broken promises. The ObamaCare-Tax ruling certainly didn’t do him any favors as far as giving him leeway to tout his achievements, so it’s all “evil profit-seeking Bain Capital did this” and “as Massachusetts governor, Mitt Romney did that” — they’re definitely playing up the cheap populism on his swing-state bus tour today and Friday. (The bus tour is titled “Betting on America.” Translation: Mitt Romney outsourced jobs!)
Secondly, a little hint at what might be going on in the vice presidential vetting, perhaps?
Mitt Romney’s wife says her husband is thinking about picking a woman to be on his ticket this fall.
Ann Romney says in an interview, “We’ve been looking at that and I love that option as well.” …
The former Massachusetts governor, who was joined by his wife for the interview, declined to describe the status of the vice presidential search, saying “that’s something I’m keeping close with my team.”
Hmmm: An honest-to-goodness clue, or just another red herring in the Veep-speculation du jour? Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, and Gov. Susana Martinez would be my guesses — Ayotte and McMorris Rodgers have been especially staunch surrogates for Romney in the campaign so far. But of course, only Team Romney really knows who’s on the list, and I’m sure they’re “considering” and seriously vetting at least a few people, so a lady may very well be an option as much as anyone else right now.
Why has no one mentioned Jim DeMint?
Why is he really a woman?
I bet they’re looking at Gov. Nicki Haley from SC. (East) Indian so she may qualify as a minority and she gave Obama a lot of hell and refused Stimulus dollars. I don’t know who she endorsed during primary or if she did at all.
No thanks
I am not a Ron Paul supporter. Never have been, never will be. But you are really getting ridiculous by hinting that Ron Paul is a cross dresser. You know damn well who those legs belong and no it's not Rue Paul
That is what you think and you are entitled to your opinion
Only one woman is qualified to be president, and we all know who that is.
I agree
Cathy McMorris Rodgers

OH BOY......... A female Congress-critter from a very Liberal State....... Please tell me this will NOT be our Geraldine Ferraro moment.
I really prefer that First Ladies and First Lady wannabes just STFU

I’d almost be willing to bet that you are not married. (LOL)
I am starting to have this bad feeling Mrs. Romney is as power hungry as Hillary and Michelle.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Really? Well, as a reminder; Hillary and Michelle both, helped put their hubbies in the White House. So, if Ann is “power” hungry and can pull it off to get the Marxist Muslim out of Washington D.C., more “power” and more “hunger” to her.
Well, good luck Libs on finding anything on a squeaky-clean Mormon. Also, even tho I love their politics; could you imagine what a “character take-down” it would have been if the nominee was Gingrich or Cain. Damn; we’d all have to take a shower each night after the nightly news.
And he engages the enemy very well, he pulls no punches.

Why didn’t Jim run himself. I’m a little pissed at Jim DeMint for not having the ‘nads to run. I’m also a little pissed at Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal...........
Agreed. America would not be anywhere near this shape if Palin had been in DC. McCain was pimping for Hussein the whole time. Sure, John, we have nothing to fear from Obama my aunt fanny. We have everything to fear and McRino knew it.
My point is, it is not an elected position. What the President’s spouse thinks is not relevant.

Puleeze!!! You think a man cannot be influenced by his wife? You think when they’re having “pillow talk” at night in bed that she can’t influence him? You better believe she can; especially if she threatens to “cut him off” for a week.
So you are suggesting a webcam in the President’s bed?
