Romneys sit down for interview with Oprah Winfrey

(AP) – 14 minutes ago

WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney is talking about his presidential campaign with Oprah Winfrey.

The presumptive GOP nominee and his wife, Ann, met with Winfrey on Friday for an interview that will be published in O, The Oprah Magazine. Romney aides late Saturday said the conversation took place as the Romneys were ready to begin a leisurely weekend at their lakefront house in Wolfeboro, N.H.

The aides would not discuss the interview topics or tone before its publication.

Winfrey in 2007 broke her long-standing rule against supporting politicians and came out for Barack Obama. She became one his strongest advocates and helped him win over female voters.

No couch to jump on. No audience chairs under which presents could be left.

I'm not exactly on tenterhooks waiting for it to be published, however. I expect it will be rather bland and innocuous.

He is toast, I've already said this, but he is toast. No way you spend a leisurely weekend anywhere at this point if you are this man.
