CafeMom was at the GOP Convention last night for Ann Romney's speech, and we got reaction from Republican moms afterward.
Check out what they had to say about the woman they hope will be the next First Lady after the jump -- then tell us in the comments what you think of Ann Romney's convention speech.
Republican moms believe Ann Romney effectively humanized her husband and gave him the emotional connection they've been telling us for months that he lacks. Some CafeMom members agreed with the women in our video.
"She gave a wonderful, heartfelt speech!" wrote Marsha. "I don't begrudge them their wealth. They earned it."
"Her JOB is to support her husband, and when a person speaks of their husband and speaks so glowingly after 43 years, then there is more to that marriage than just fluff," wrote DeAnn.
However, many CafeMom members said afterward on our Facebook page that they weren't buying Ann's speech, or her claims to understand what single moms and working class moms were going through.
"They are typical millionaires," wrote Julie on our Moms Matter Facebook page. "Nothing against them, they are out of touch with the middle class families."
"She never had to raise children AND GO OUT AND HOLD A JOB TOO," added Sandy.
What did you think of Ann Romney's speech? Can she understand working women and what they're going through, or is she hopelessly out of touch?

It's killing me how many people are putting her down today. I think the Dems are scared to death because the polls are really narrowing. LOL! LOL! LOL!!!!!!
People have always had sour grapes where wealthy people are concerned. Like the Obama's are poor! Give me a break. At least Romney's mother doesn't live with them and steer their ship and raise their family!
Ann Romney stood on the stage at the convention last night in a Oscar de la Renta dress and tried to identify with Moms across the country. I don't care how much money they have; it's not important. However, please don't call me jealous, Mitt Romney came from wealth. He did not start with nothing and build it himself. She did not raise her children without help and she doesn't know what it means to clip coupons or how to stretch that last dollar. I am not and never will be envious of anyone with money mainly because it is not the Christian way.
I don't understand the jealousy toward Ann Romney. I grew up in the midwest during the time George Romney was governor of MI. I also worked my way through college and continued to work as a single mom. Yes - I know what it's like to now be unemployed - even with a distinguished career in education - thanks to unions! The woman who has rarely worked a day in her life is Michelle Obama. Thanks to Affirmative Action, she has had everything handed to her, including her education!
