National Spotlight Briefly Shines on Libby Szabo During RNC

POLS UPDATE: Having given Libby Szabo her due, we’d be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge Ann Romney’s speech to the Republican National Convention last night on its own:

Rough-and-tumble politics aside, and whatever disagreements you may have with her, Ann Romney really is that campaign’s greatest asset. Her ability to soften the image of her generally unlikable (and unliked) husband is one of the only major hurdles remaining in the mostly-successful strategy by Democrats to define the Republican Party as hostile to women.

It’s probably not enough at this point to overcome the richly-earned “war on women” brand afflicting the GOP this year, but Ann Romney is as close to a rejoinder as they’re going to get.

Maybe next time she’ll be on the ticket herself?

Ann Romney took the stage at the Republican National Convention in Tampa tonight, waxing lyrically about love, her relationship, and her husband’s qualifications for the White House. During her remarks, the camera cut several times to the audience when, lo and behold, it turned on Colorado State Representative Libby Szabo.

What made Szabo clap like she’s never clapped before? The environment, certainly. But it’s fitting the camera turned on an ecstatic Szabo following Romney’s quotation of biblical scripture, John 6:38’s “Give and it shall be given unto you.”

That’s because Szabo knows a thing or two about the Bible! She’s married, remember, to a preacher who believes that Barack Obama is the anti-christ.

Considering that, it’s almost as if Anne Romney was speaking directly to Arvada’s state representative.

Give to others, Barack Obama is wholly evil to the core. You know, biblical teachings.
