25. Oh, not this again.

Apr 2012

The Romney people are going to have to be careful how they handle this. They want to make inroads in the woman vote but this issue is a minefield for them. If they go down this road not only, as has been mentioned earlier in posts, will they have to explain all the "help" they have had around the house, but also has all the help been legal. Romney has been in trouble in the past for hiring companies that use undocumented workers for his gardening an house painting. I'm not sure this is an issue they want to pursue in length. If they keep this an issue past the weekend the press will start to get a little antsy in getting out the true picture of Ann as stay-at-home mom. Not that one can't be a stay home mom and have people cook and clean for them.
