In an attempt to narrow the gender gap, Mitt Romney offered an endearing admission about his lovely wife: "We... we, uh, use Ann sparingly right now so that people don't get tired of her." What a lucky gal you are, Ann Romney!

Apparently, when Mitt Romney isn't using Ann Romney to deflect reporters, he's not using her at all.

Reaction from the peanut gallery, please:

Dear @mittromney : we got tired of @annromney once she uttered the words "It's our turn now." You ppl are not entitled to the WH ya know.

Romney: the campaign purposefully was using Ann Romney "sparingly…so that people don't get tired of her." THAT will get the #women vote.

Tapes show Mitt is bad at math--vastly overestimates amount of time it takes people to get tired of Ann Romney.

Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse and I should quit making fun of Mitt all the time. But you know what? #RafalcThat #TrotOn

In the words of Ann Romney, "I love you women!"
