If she had said, "It's great that he hears what his wife says, but who tells him what things are like for ordinary working women who have to hold down a job, keep house, AND raise the kids?"

By dragging Ann directly into this, she committed a serious error. Hopefully, everybody on our side learns from this. Spouses and children are off limits, period, unless they say something incendiary. It's safe to say that Mitt is privileged, it's very risky to say that about the family members who are not directly running for President. Hopefully, this will be over with by Sunday night.
