Ann Romney waves off campaign rumors: 'Mitt and I are done... Done. Done. Done.'

The Romneys were in Boston on Tuesday to launch the Ann Romney Center for Neurological Diseases, "a research facility that will focus on finding cures and new treatments for Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease (known as ALS), Parkinson's disease and brain tumors," the LA Times reports.
