Ann Romney takes to Twitter
The rhetorical war on women between President Obama and Mitt Romney escalated Wednesday night as Romney's wife Ann launched a Twitter account to personally respond to a Democratic pundit who had dismissed her knowledge about the economy by saying she "never worked a day in her life."
- The debate started here: Hilary Rosen, a political consultant who advises the Democratic National Committee, said this on CNN's "AC360" show:"His wife has actually never worked a day in her life, ... She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school and how do we -- why we worry about their future."
About two hours later, Ann Romney launched a new Twitter account and the conversation expanded to include Obama advisers and others. 
I've nothing against @AnnRomney. I just don't want Mitt using her as an expert on women struggling $ to support their family. She isn't.- @AnnDRomney I am raising children too. But most young American women HAVE to BOTH earn a living AND raise children. You know that don't u?
- @AnnDRomney Please know, I admire you. But your husband shouldn't say you are his expert on women and the economy. #HeNeedsMore
- oh and @AnnDRomney welcome to Twitter. You will find it a very exhilarating and often unforgiving place!
@Messina2012 Families must be off limits on campaigns, and i personally believe stay at home moms work harder than most of us do.
@AnnDRomney is one of the smartest, hardest working woman I know. Could have done anything with her life, chose to raise me- UPDATE: First lady Michelle Obama has weighed in on Twitter
