The campaign seems to have gotten a clue and realized that Ann needs to step away from the microphone.



In Omaha for a closed to the press fundraiser for her husband Friday, Mrs. Romney was supposed to give interviews to several reporters but canceled due to the controversy over her blow up at Republicans on a radio interview, in which she ordered Mitt’s Republican critics to “stop it.”

Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, made an appearance Friday at an Omaha-area fundraiser for her husband. She had scheduled interviews with The World-Herald and other reporters but canceled after controversy erupted this week over her comments to a public radio station in Iowa about her husband's Republican critics. She appeared at the luncheon, $250-per-plate fundraiser at the Embassy Suites and La Vista Conference Center. The event was closed to reporters.

Um. Maybe not.

H/T to TrueBlueMajority for the 'Stop It' interview





I should have added that last week Ann Romney did an interview with a local Fox affiliate in Colorado, where she said that 'Mitt does not disdain the poor'. The campaign posted a video of it on their website, then realized about 20 minutes later how awful it sounded and removed it. So that incident as well probably was influential in this decision to cancel interviews while she has more appearance training, or is retired.
