The possible first ladies ... and the possible first man

Earlier today, republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said that his wife would make a prettier first lady than former president Bill Clinton.

The comment was in reference to a TIME MAGAZINE article, "The Real Running Mates." The

According to a CNN blog, Romney said,

"It has a picture of five of the possible first ladies," the former Massachusetts governor said. "In the upper left hand corner it has my wife, and then next to it, it has Bill Clinton. And she is a much prettier first lady than Bill Clinton, I can tell you that!"
Regardless of what a pretty first lady shew would make, Ann Romney has been a visible part of her husband's presidential campaign. According to an article in the Desert Morning News, she's hitting to trail to aid her husband, who as of now is most well known as being the races only Mormon candidate.

Since April, she has maintained her own campaign schedule, pitching her husband's presidential bid to mostly Republican women's organizations throughout the South as well as in California and other states.

And Ann Romney is convinced there will come a time when the campaign can move on from discussing religion. "That's exactly what happened in Massachusetts," she said, referring to her husband's term as that state's governor.

Check out the article in TIME to learn more about the campaign styles of the other possible first ladies (and first men.)

yay for acknowledging the spouses of the candidates! i feel that they really play a larger role than is realized. being the first lady, or possibly first man is a job of it's own. she/he has responsibilites and views to uphold, just as the president would.
as to who's prettier, well...thats an individual opinion. i personally gotta keep the love for those hands of bill clinton.
