When Ann Romney takes the stage on Monday evening at the Republican National Convention, the three major networks will be broadcasting something else.
Politico's Dylan Byers reports that CBS, NBC and ABC do not plan to air primetime coverage of the convention on Monday, when the wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is scheduled to deliver her speech.

(2,770 posts)wouldn't you want to "hide" her, too?
Can't help but wonder if Mitt regrets not practicing polygamy - he could have trotted out one of his less-hated wives at the convention.

(26,219 posts)the networks backed the RNC convention down to 3 nights of air time since the DNC shortened our convention to 3 nights.
The night they chose to cut was deliciously ironic though as Nikki Haley is also speaking. Its ladies night.

(3,621 posts)and I love the fact that there are women out there who dont have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isnt easy for any of us.
She doesn't know how to communicate with regular people, so out of touch. Jackie Kennedy came from wealthy family yet she knew how to stay classy, was good at communicating. So did other women like Eleanor Roosevelt. Ann is just funny! Ha!
