Ann Romney on Friday discussed her personal fight to "remember the joy in life" and urged voters, especially women, in the battleground state of Virginia to look to her husband, Mitt Romney, to improve lives on an individual level.
"Our message is really for all Americans, and it really is boiling down to this: America, we can do better," she said. She spoke directly to the fact that the GOP presidential candidate is known for his personal financial success.

Ann Romney spoke at a "Women for Mitt" rally held at the Twin Oaks Riding Academy in Leesburg, Va.
