every one of her appearances leads to a little uptick in Obama's numbers since she is so odious.

That's as close to an admission of defeat we're likely to see from the Romney camp, including after the race is officially called for Obama.

They'll cite fatigue or medical issues, though.

She wants out. And I want to help her.

Her health IS an issue - now the MSM is outing this as they should have done more before

or should I say, Heehhheeeeee.......Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa Nelly?

she's "suffering from exhaution". They're going to lose and she doesn't have a very good poker face is my guess.

Pretty pathetic when you are claiming you will win when unhappy tears are running down your face. Sorry, Ann. Perhaps Honey BooBoo can lend you a tiara. You do realize she is more popular than you, right?

The problem with brittle is it's brittle, iykwim.

Oh, the poor, tender little petunia. Does she have any clue how exhausting it is being First Lady? Ann, please just go away and play horsey.

a 12 hour shift on the factory floor,as a waitress or a nurse. Being first lady not so much.

He squeezes everything he can from her until there's nothing left.

Dumps all his nasty, whiny, raging, vileness on the good Mormon wife.

Go back into obscurity Ann.........no hard feelings.

picking out china...

But now, what has she got?

NADA!

Goin' home with the guy who can't sing, can't dance, can't tell a joke, has no interest in foreign relations, and lives in a cult, in weird underwear.

Oh Boy!

She does have a chronic health condition, you know.

That means she isn't sick right now.

and understand a little bit what it's like.

She should have been pacing herself all along and my guess is that she was. Those of us with chronic conditions deal with flare ups, medications, and have a very good idea of what we can handle.

She is "scaling back" because the campaign wants her to scale back - they see her as a liability.

After her appearance yesterday where her body language and tone clearly telegraphed, imo, that they already know it's over, that the "you people" she despises feel the same about her husband, it is easier for her to return to her 'gated' reality than to be there to the end.

someone who believes they're winning. As a matter of fact it's the face of someone trying very hard to look optimistic. Immediately after she spoke Mitt wanted to thank everyone there for working to get him elected.

It sounded more like a concession speech than a rally to charge everyone up for a big win.

I have to admit I was taken aback at how clearly both Romneys, by tone and language, spoke as one would AFTER an election loss. It certainly confirmed to me their internal polls must be pretty devastating, showing the crucial swing states are lost to them.

Typically, divorce in Mormon circles ends with one of the parties being excommunicated.

but they do have enough houses to live very separate lives for a long, long time. Maybe Mitt will buy her a Cayman Island.

she's made it this far, she isn't going to give up her royal position after putting up with his ass for this long.

I would drop over from exhaustion after 1 day.

Here are the schedules for JUST today:

But, I agree with sufrommich - I don't think Antoinette possesses a poker face capable of pulling it off. She knows they are going down.

All they have to do is make sure they look good, talk a good game and come out smiling.

I'd have all kinds of assistants to do everything for me.

then they jet off in a private plane to somewhere else. Not exactly taxing for a first-lady-in-waiting. Her MS is "in remission", and frankly, I've known many people with MS that have to hold down f/t jobs, raise kids, and run a household, when it was not in remission. Ann's schedule is not exactly harsh. She doesn't have to lift a finger...

He's been pretty low profile, doing these weird airport events. Small events, and seems like he's just not that into it.

They have plans for the ReTHUG marathon man.

and swollen to be seen in public anymore. Hang in there Ann...you're needed to stand by your man and smile while he gives his concession speech. Then you can go home an bawl your eyes out! Peace!

Howling with laughter here - she really doesn't have a poker face. No can do.

Guaranteed this is in response to the news stories regarding her teary pastry handout.

It helps when you're trying to win votes.

if I had to face 'Mitt the Loser '
