1. Rosen apologized

2. Ann Romney made a tweet. She put herself out there for comment.

3. Ann Romney said she does not feel wealthy. That’s what we have from her head.

I think she should be off limits unless she makes an actual statement that has some substance to it. A throw away tweet in response to a misconstrued statement about her is not enough to claim that she is engaged in any kind of meaningful conversation about what “women want” today or from their President. And what does “not feeling wealthy” tell us about her views on other women or women’s rights? Nothing. I think this is a no-win argument and a slippery slope. By all accounts Ann Romney is a sympathetic person and making hay about *her* is a bad idea.
