Ann Romney takes center stage in Tampa, vows husband Mitt 'will not fail' Aug 29th 2012, 02:53 TAMPA, Fla. –  Ann Romney tried Tuesday night to bring some love – and some truth -- to a presidential race marked recently by accusations of half-truths and lies -- in a speech that paid homage to women and attempted to share Mitt Romney's personal side to America. "I want to talk not about what divides us, but what holds us together as an American family," said Romney, whose husband had received the GOP presidential nomination just hours earlier. "Tonight I want to talk to you about love." Ann Romney, in a roughly 30-minute speech that ended with Mitt Romney walking on stage and kissing his wife, said it is women who are the unsung heroes of families. "It's the moms who work hard to make everything right," said Romney, countering accusations by Democrats and other critics that Republicans are "waging a war against women." Romney, in her speech at the GOP national convention in Tampa, Fla.,  also spoke of a marriage that was not exactly the storybook relationship of romance novels. "Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer," said Romney, alluding to her own struggles with both illnesses. She also spoke of how the couple started out in a basement apartment and how, through hard work, her husband became successful enough to give their children an education that Mitt Romney's father never had. "No one will work harder," she said. "No one will care more … to make this country a better place to live. This man will not fail."
