As I was driving to work yesterday morning, I heard Ann and Josh Romney on the local radio station here. She is very intelligent and articulate. She would be a very good First Lady.

The Romneys, who fell in love in high school and have been married since 1969, have been described as too good to be true. The Boston press has even suggested over the years that they live in a sort of Twilight Zone because they don’t drink, smoke or quarrel.
Ann Romney said she’s not bothered by comments about her marriage, any more than she is by the interest in the size of her family. The Romneys have five sons, all married and all active in the campaign, and 10 grandchildren.
“Our marriage is solid and strong, and we’re proud of that,” she said. “There have been lots of jokes made about it, but we find it kind of funny, too.”

Yes, she would. The best out of the bunch I think.
She’d be a fantastic First Lady.
Hey, Utah Girl! Hope all is well. Mrs. Romeny would, no doubt, be one of our finest first ladies.
Hi. :)
I’ll be at Bryce Canyon on October 2! Going back to that awesome site for the second time. Can’t wait! :-)
"Our marriage is solid and strong, and we're proud of that," she said. "
In a time when marriage is under attack like never before in mankind's history, we need Republican Presidents with traditional marriages and families to set an example for the country. Of the first tier candidates, Mitt Romney and his family, exemplifies those values best.
Ann is an articulate, attractive, classy and mature woman who undoubtedly would make an excellent first lady. She has a GREAT personality too! : )
Saw her on C-Span a while back in a meeting of ladies in South Carolina I think it was. She does seem to do her hubby proud.
Ann is the best candidates spouse of the bunch. She would be a great First Lady. The fact that they have a long marriage and support each other is so inspiring. However, Mitt still is not my first choice. lol.
The Elites feel a need to prop Mitt up, I guess.
Is the word “delights” an LDS term? I’ve never heard it in any context other than in the Old Testament and The Book of Mormon (example Jacob 2:28 For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts.”). I didn’t see one instance of this word in the New Testament. So I’m wondering, other than use of delight in the sense “I’m delighted to see you”, do non-LDS use the phrase “I delight in xxx”? So, its interesting that Ann uses this term.
Have a great time. I wanted to hike the rim this month, but I am very busy at work.
That is the one question about Mitt Romney thats been answered.
Its all the other stuff, the changes in position, that explains why he hasn’t run away with the race already.
Hmmm, I don’t know. I’m not LDS. I can’t recall hearing the word in that usage.
I thought it was an interesting title for the article, and it seemed to me a phrase with a religious meaning. I was surprised to see so many instances of that word in the Old Testament, and actually one use (in Romans) in the New Testament. If anybody is familiar with this, I'd be interested to know why that word isn't used much in later writings.
I think the term ‘delighted’ is a Utah Mormon term. The word ‘sweet’ is also used in a religious context a lot in Utah too.
