Romney: The Twilight Zone

Breast Cancer Dept: The thing that s nice about pregnancy is that in the end, you have a baby, she told the reporter, who concluded that his encounter with Ms. Romney in her million-dollar mansion resembled something like a trip to the Twilight Zone, according to Globe and Mail. Her stories of dealing with debilitating multiple sclerosis and her brush with breast cancer have moved crowds to tears, helping her and by extension, her husband connect with voters. In speeches and interviews she weaves stories about how she has used alternative therapies, such as reflexology and horseback riding, to heal. In Republican households Baron, her horse, has become something of a folk hero and instead, she chatted about dieting down to her college weight 117 pounds and how the couple had struggled as students, living off inherited stock investments. Asked to describe herself in three words, Ms. Romney foundered: Peaceful, loving and serene, she managed. At one point, she compared a political campaign to pregnancy. As Mr. Romney forges to the front in the Republican primaries, his wife is being heralded as one of his greatest assets, a humanizing force that counters his rigidity. She is the most visible of the Republican candidates wives. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
