Sorry, but Ann Romney and Michelle Obama are full campaign partners, and totally fair game
By Melinda Henneberger
They’re raising money and answering questions, not sitting home asking how it went. So when are we going to stop pretending campaign spouses ought to be “left alone”?

Mitt Romney and GOP women: He had them at ‘economy’
