I don't think Bernie should have said THAT. Even if he was just tooting his wifes horn.

My wife is admittedly my better half and she is smarter. I don't think anyone would interpret that as "Ha! Retrowire's dumb!"

Married women tend to like that kind of stuff. Although I don't think Bernie was aiming for votes when he said that.

and his respect for his wife. You saw admiration in his eyes when he spoke of her.
