Ann Romney rode the momentum of her husband's wins Tuesday in Arizona and Michigan to Smokejack's in downtown Alpharetta on Thursday. An overflow crowd heard a message of family values and confidence that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will win the Republican nomination and beat President Barack Obama. "This is our message.

Accompanied by Herman Cain, a fellow Georgian who dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Gingrich, the former House speaker swept through Forsyth, Gwinnett and Cobb counties during the day to rally support for the Republican presidential primary March 6. In addition, his wife, Callista, rallied supporters in Buckhead.
