It is the speech with the aim to "humanize" Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, and perhaps a secret weapon for the Republican campaign, and it can in the form of his wife, Ann Romney.
Ann started her speech shortly after 10:13 p.m. EDT, and she first gave a moment to remind Americans how lucky and be thankful for those helping the southern states currently getting Hurricane Isaac's fury.
Ann continued says her speech is not about politics, "but what holds us as an American family." She also said, "Tonight I want to talk about love."
Mitt's wife told stories of meeting him at a dance and how he got a long with her parents.
"What we have is a real marriage," said Ann, which followed by a standing ovation.
Ann's descriptive phrases to describe Mitt included nervous, able to laugh, warm, loving, patient. Such words hopefully have people help connect with MItt after people refer to him a emotionless and cold.
To further "humanize" Mitt, pictures of the young presidential candidate were displayed behind Ann.
The speech also stresed about women. Ann spoke with points to have a bond with female voters, which may be needed following fellow Republicans and their statements on women's rights.
Ann spoke of women's struggles and related to raising five boys while her husband went out to seek his political ambitions while she battled multiple sclerosis and breast cancer. However, this might come under criticism as Ann is noted to never had a job which might strain single mothers with a or multiple jobs.
"This man will not fail," said Ann about her husband.
Ann's speech ended with her husband greeting her with a kiss.
