"Romney in Crisis"

[annabanana]

Apparently there were two (2) times that Mitt had to deal with a serous (real) problem. One was a car accident in France in 1968 when he was 20. The other was when his wife was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

These two harrowing incidents are cited as humanizing stories:

The French car crash and Ann Romney’s illness provide such a narrative; they are dark moments — bookends of sorts — in what otherwise has seemed a charmed existence. Both offer clues into Mr. Romney’s character, and the way he reacts to challenges. He is both forward-looking and inward-looking, practical and deeply private, with a consultant’s instinct for identifying solutions even in the most personally trying times.

He was briefly knocked out after the accident and one of his passengers died and his wife got the very best medical care in the world, . . and a horse.

How would YOU fare with either of the above crises? Well, since the accident was in France, presumable you would get quick, cost free medical attention. But would your insurance provide anywhere near the level of care that Ann received?

1. yeah Ann's gonna have to kick that MS

into high gear for sympathy for the elections. I bet she does too.

She better get on her high horse Rafalca and get to riding. I feel a relapse is about to hit her.

Rmoney was knocked out during a crash where someone other than he himself died? Poor baby. He actually recovered from that? Well anybody that can do that can sure lead the country.

3. I did not know about her MS... and wouldn't want to politicize it

Quite honestly, I'm surprised the GOP hasn't already focused on it.

2. Ann's health could be a distraction were he to be elected
