We give 10 percent of our income to our church every year. Do you think that is the kind of person who is trying to hide things, or do things?

We're too smart to know there aren't easy answers. But we're not dumb enough to accept that there aren't better answers.

I know what it's like to struggle and to have those concerns that all mothers have.

You know, I think my biggest concern [if Mitt is elected], obviously, would just be for his mental well-being. I have all the confidence in the world in his ability, in his decisiveness and his leadership skills, in his understanding of the economy, in his understanding of what's missing right now in the economy - you know, pieces that are missing to get this jump-started. So for me I think it would just be the emotional part of it.

Everyone in life has their challenges, mine have not been financial.

Another son came along 18 months later, although we waited four years to have the third, because Mitt was still in school and we had no income except the stock we were chipping away at. We were living on the edge, not entertaining. No, I did not work. Mitt thought it was important for me to stay home with the children, and I was delighted.

I love the fact that there are also women out there that don't have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too.
