"Romney added "you're gonna be under a microscope and at least during the time you're in the White House you ought to live by a high standard, because the world is looking at you, you're representing not only yourself but your country. And the kids of America are looking at you."

Exactly. People in high places must show good example!

I saw Ann say that in a forum that was on C-Span. Maria Shriver hosted the event. Ann really came across as a highly intelligent, compassionate and witty person. It was good to see. Interestingly, I thought she and Michelle Obama hit it off personally with Mrs. Obama nodding in agreement with much of what Ann had to say. The two spoke with each other frequently during the forum (they were sitting next to each other) and they smiled and laughed together many times. Mrs. Obama too came across as highly intelligent and friendly. I couldn't vote for her husband but, she seems to be the type of person you'd want to get to know. It was interesting to watch.

Of the other women, Jeri Thompson, Elizabeth Edwards and Cindy McCain were interesting as well. Jeri Thompson and Cindy McCain were much quieter than the rest but came off well and Elizabeth Edwards made her presence known despite the Romney/Obama show. Jeri seemed a little ill at ease on stage with the rest of them and said so but, this is the first time for her on the public stage so, that's entirely understandable. I was surprised at how much I liked Elizabeth Edwards. She too seems to be intelligent and witty and someone I could get along with (so long as the topic of politics doesn't come up). Too bad she isn't the candidate instead of her husband.

Maria Shriver made an interesting point that I had to agree with; all of these women are quite good looking. All have beauty and brains. That was nice to see.
