Ann made the USA Today yesterday. Read the entire story here or selections below:Ann Romney had met Elizabeth Edwards only once and in passing, but the day after Edwards announced in March that her cancer had recurred in an incurable form, Romney called her.
"I expressed my gratitude for her for continuing to fight on" in the presidential campaign and for the "courage she's giving to other people that are struggling," Romney says. "And I said, 'I totally understand why you're still fighting. I totally get it.' "
When she hung up the phone, Elizabeth Edwards told adviser Jennifer Palmieri she felt a "special kinship" with Romney.
While the two women don't have much in common politically — Romney's husband is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Edwards' husband the Democratic one — each is all too familiar with the competing emotions and demands that come with balancing a serious disease and a spouse's political ambitions.
It's really hard to not like Ann Romney. What a pleasant personality to have in the White House for eight years. Quite a contrast to this woman.
