I can't recall ever seeing this before. Yeah, I know Obama is raffling off a chance to have dinner with him and George Clooney and even he and Michelle last year. But...this is a new all-time low that I know of.

I know candidates have to pimp themselves to be elected.....

Ya can't make this stuff up:

"NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN A PRIZE." A prize? His wife is a PRIZE?

https://www.mittromney.com/donate/gr...FUqQ7QodDmY0FA

What makes this so tragicomic is that the Romney camp knows the Democrats are hitting on a "War on Women," yet they offer up Ann as a prize in a raffle? Other candidates have raffled off AK-47's, but your WIFE?

They couldn't make it any easier for the Obama camp to skin them alive. I'm beginning to wonder if somebody on the Romney team doesn't have a second job writing campaign copy for Obama.

If the Romney team would be this inept at running the country, no thanks.

Are you kidding? This is a fund raising gimmick, the same one Obama uses.

Are the Dems already out of diversions from the economy? Is this all they have left? Yikes, this election may be over sooner than we thought!

I know it's a fund raising gimmick, but I've never seen a candidate promise a date with his wife as a prize. Have you?

The prize is lunch with the candidates wife. I am not sure why this is giving you the vapors.

Listen guys, Ted Nugent, dogs, now this, is this enough of a distraciton from 15% under and unemployment rate, and a 50% under and unemployment rate for new grads, and the trillions added to the debt? I don't think so.

I would consider it a prize to meet Ann Romney. or Mitt of course. Cool.

What bothers me is that Obama considers George Clooney a prize. How anti-man of him.

So..Ann Romney would be equivalent to a set of steak knives? That's about all you could expect from a $5 drawing. :roll eyes:

When the Obama camp talks about a "War on Women," they certainly don't have to look far for an example, do they?

From which angle does "Grab a Bite with Ann" look to you as "Have a Date with Ann" anyway? It's probably an awkward lunch - under the glare of a dozen video cameras and fully scripted. You make it sound like it's a one-night stand.

STOP focusing on these trivial things and focus on the issues. Move ON!

Lunch with Ann Romney is as much equal to winning steak knives as is having dinner with Obama.

Typical misogyny of the left. Why would anyone possibly
want to have lunch with a woman?
