Limited Convention Coverage Will Leave Ann Romney Off Air!

At 10:30 on Monday night, Ann Romney is scheduled to take the stage at the Republican National Convention, in Act 1 of her husband’s four-day introduction to the nation. But tens of millions of people will not be able to watch.

CBS plans instead to show a rerun of “Hawaii Five-O,” its hit police series. Viewers of NBC will see a new episode of “Grimm,” about a homicide detective with the supernatural ability to sense evil. And ABC plans to show “Castle,” a series about a best-selling mystery novelist who helps solve crimes.

The networks, which reap considerable advertising dollars even from summer reruns, have told the Romney campaign that they will broadcast an hour of convention coverage on the final three nights — but no more.

This might send her over the edge!

She's already pretty angry right now about being asked about the tax returns!

about this, cuz he doesn't understand that the networks don't work for him. He expected MORE air time than they were giving the DNC. Also, see planning (more proof that Romney isn't the best CEO). Hurricane season, and a 4 day convention planned to leave Ann out.

On the other hand, he should be grateful, because the more America sees Ann the less they like her.
