Ann Romney said she believes that it is going to be an 'economic election.' Ann Romney: Time for a 'grown-up'

Ann Romney said Friday women voters were considering supporting her husband because “it’s time for the grown-up to come.”

“I’m hearing from so many women that may not have considered voting for a Republican before, but said, ‘It’s time for the grown-up to come, the man that’s going to take this seriously, that’s going to take the future of our children very, very seriously’,” Romney told Candy Crowley on CNN’s “Starting Point.”


“I very much believe, Candy, that it’s going to be an economic election, and I think a lot of women may be voting, this cycle around, in a different way than they usually are: that is, thinking about the economy, thinking about their own jobs, thinking about their husband’s jobs, but also thinking about the future.”

Romney, making the morning television rounds the day after her husband, Mitt Romney, accepted the Republican nomination at the GOP convention in Tampa, also said she planned on watching Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches next week at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C.

“I believe I will” watch their speeches, Romney said on “Fox & Friends. ” “I want to hear the president speak and I hope — I’m assuming Michelle will speak. I want to hear her speak.”
