"Family was center stage both literally and figuratively as Ann Romney launched her first solo bus tour throughout South Carolina Tuesday.

 

"Oversized blown-up family pictures of the Romney family draped the campaign sites. On display front and center was the real life version: daughter-in-law Mary Romney and grandson Parker Romney whom were by their CFO 'Chief Family Officer's' side at each event.

 

"Crowds of mostly women waited eagerly to hear from the mother of five, the grandmother of ten, and the potential next future first-lady of the United States.

 

"Mrs. Romney served as the perfect spousal surrogate: touting Mitt Romney as a loving husband, valuable father, and successful businessman, volunteer and governor. But she said he's not done yet, 'Wait until he gets his hands on Washington...he's going to tear it up.'"

"Professing she's having a 'great time' touting her husband's background and qualifications to win the White House, Mrs. Romney gushed how wonderful it is to have her family by her side. Describing the campaign trail as sometimes 'rough and tortuous' grandma Romney brought a little light-hearted humor into the mix, introducing her grandson Parker as the 'biggest drooler ever' and later making it up to him with an ice cream cone break between events on the trail.

 

"Mrs. Romney and clan descend on three more cities Wednesday, as part of the two-day bus tour throughout South Carolina."
