This is the latest report from the National Journal/NBC reporters embedded with the campaigns of top presidential contenders and in two key states.

The campaign of Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney on Monday announced the launch of a Web site that will track Ann Romney, the former Massachusetts governor's, spouse throughout the season.

Mrs. Romney already is a regular on the campaign's primary Web site through the family's Five Brothers blog, but the new site, AnnRomney.com, will give the campaign's not-so-secret weapon a front-and-center role.

On the stump, Mitt Romney invokes name of Bill Clinton, whose wife Hillary is the Democrats' leading presidential contender, as a seque to mention his spouse, and the new site echoes what is implicit in Romney's remarks: He thinks Mrs. Romney is the strongest antidote to former President Clinton.

Among the categories at AnnRomney.com, "Ann's Recipes" is prominent. There's also an "AnnTV" to compliment "MittTV."

But the campaign calls attention in its release about the site to the most visible section, "Ann's causes." She writes that after having been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998, she has "devoted a great deal of time to raising awareness about the disease and am devoted to making a difference in the lives of people who suffer from MS." -- Erin McPike
