Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidat Mitt Romney, talks with audience members after her husbands spoke at the University of Chicago. Ann Romney is firing back at a Democratic consultant who is suggesting that the wife of wealthy presidential candidate Mitt shouldn't be talking about the economy's toll on women. "Guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life," said consultant Hilary Rosen on CNN. The remark inspired Ann Romney's debut on Twitter.
