Mitt Romney, wipes lipstick off his face after kissing him at a campaign rally in Zanesville, Ohio. To the yearbook editors at the all-girl Kingswood School Davies' destiny seemed pretty obvious. "The first lady," the entry beside the stunning blond beauty's photo in the 1967 edition of "Woodwinds" concluded. "Quiet and soft spoken." The modern feminist movement was just dawning, and even some of the girls at the staid prep school in the wealthy Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills were feeling their oats _ if in a somewhat tame way.

(AP) ? Republican National Convention officials say Mitt Romney's wife, Ann, will speaking during prime time television coverage of the event.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a rising national figure in the party, gave up his Tuesday night speaking slot for Mrs. Romney, who was scheduled to speak on Monday, the convention's opening night. Broadcast television networks were not planning to cover Monday's proceedings in Tampa, Fla.

Mrs. Romney is a key surrogate in a race where women voters are fiercely sought-after by Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama.

Rubio, however, will still have a prime time slot. The freshman senator and tea party favorite will address the convention in his home state on Thursday, just before Romney closes the convention with his acceptance speech.
