27. I base my vote on what the candidate says/does. I vote for the candidate of record. As do we all.

The fact that Ann Romney supports her husband is neither here nor there. They all do. What I may think of her comments as a private citizen who is not running for public office has little bearing on my choice. To be fair, I listen to Michelle Obama and tho' I like her better, I still don't vote for her.

There is credibility and there is credulity. Ann Romney lacks credibility with you and likely others, because she appears to want to take advantage of the readiness or willingness of some to believe she is the proverbial, "stay at home" wife/mother.

This seems to be the crux of the objection that people have. For me, Ann Romney is dated in her ideas about women regardless of what she did and why. In an era when we are moving decisively ahead with issues such as marriage equality, her comments merely appear quaintly 60ish. Very upper income Mad Men like.

But, as I said, Mitt Romney is the candidate. I won't be voting for him.
