Ann Romney denied rumors Sunday that the Republican Party had approached her about running for Secretary of State John Kerry's former Senate seat.

"No, they didn't approach me," Romney said. "I think there was a thought, 'Oh, wouldn't that be fun for Ann to do that.' I'm like, 'did anyone want to consider how fun it would be for me to do that?'"

It would have been fun for us!

Her star had risen during the presidential election, when she was seen as a major asset to husband Mitt Romney's campaign.

1. She would have been a shoe-in!

To lose.

[applegrove]

2. She also admitted to taking 'Dancing With The Stars" seriously when they asked her

to sign up.

[Zoeisright]

3. But I thought she was so sick and weak

Guess not, when it comes to making (getting) more money.

10. Why don't they just rename that show "Dancing with Baggers & Their Loser

Relatives" and be done with it?

[geek tragedy]

15. She said they weren't as flexible as they used to be.

Which is nonsense--ol multiple choice Mitt is still incredibly flexible--he can take two positions at the same time.

4. In what alternate universe?

"Her star had risen during the presidential election, when she was seen as a major asset to husband Mitt Romney's campaign."

I can't remember a major party presidential nominee spouse who did so little to improve the prospects of her husband. Indeed, in my estimation, Anne Rmoney was probably a net minus.

7. But she is a high quality woman that is AKC breeding type. Meaning purebred.

[catbyte]

11. "I LOVE YOU WIMMIN!!!"

[geek tragedy]

14. Stop it! This is hard! nt

[Richard D]

5. Neigh to that idea!

[LiberalFighter]

6. If they didn't approach her about running then

how does she know they were thinking "Oh, wouldn't that be fun for Ann to do that."?

Is in the process of doing her own memoir and going to put in what she thinks others were thinking about her?

8. Some stories just leave me speechless...

this is one....

[davidpdx]

12. +1

All you can do is just laugh at the thought of her running.

9. actually given the virtually unlimited supply of money she would have had

I wouldn't have counted her out immediately. Imagine what say 50 million (not even 1/5 of the Romney fortune) would buy in MA.

13. Two words: Meg Whitman

If she wants to throw away her money, okay, fine, have fun, Ann. I doubt she would run though after the shellacking her hubby took. But I wouldn't be surprised if she got Sarah's old job on Fox.

16. If she's depressed now because the nation rejected poor Mittens

Imagine how much worse it'd be after she was PERSONALLY rejected!

17. If she was such an "asset", why did Mitt insist on using her sparingly? eom

[geek tragedy]

18. So people wouldn't get tired of her. nt

[lonestarnot]

19. I was tired of her before she appeared.
