21. Even though Ann Romney was sick with MS, Mitt was willing to curl up in bed with her.

That is a very nice story. However something is bothering me about how Mitt Romney is dealing with his wife's illness.

He didn't made the tough choice. He seems to ignore the fact that stress can have an extremely negative effect on MS, yet he has been running for the most stressful job in the world for about six years.

Campaigning alone is very stressful, has he thought about how being first lady will effect her? It doesn't appear so.

No one has ever asked him this that I know of.

Getting into bed with your wife is easy, deciding not to run for president for the sake of your wife's health; not so much so.

So much for epic goodness.
