UPDATE: Ann Romney Speaks
Best line: "Mitt doesn't like to talk about how he's helped others because he sees it as a privilege, not a political talking point."
Ann Romney takes the stage in a red dress. "I want to talk to you tonight about that one thing that unites us...tonight, I want to talk to you about love."
