Romney has never done this before (he is press-adverse to non-FOX press). Interviews are supposed to be televised on evening newscasts.

Intrade has Romney 14% that he'll plead the 5th at some point.

Remember how intolerant and a bit superior Mitt was towards Perry, and Gingrich in the primaries, when the questioning got good?

I think his main worry is looking like a condescending arrogant jackass if the reporter actually questions him.

You mean like he did at the NAACP convention?

Why would you go into a place where 25% of the demographic will benefit from the ACA, and you tell them you'll take that healthcare away, and you call it the GOP slur, "Obamacare" to their faces for good measure?

'Cause you are cruising for "every vote"? ROFLMAO Hardly. You're being a deliberate douche.

I still think Mitt's team is more inept than cunning. Rove and Crossroads is cutthroat and nasty, but I think Mitt's guys are just incompetent. They've let this Bain thing drag on and on. It's amateur.

Romney just met with Cheney. Let's see what Mr. Evil Politics Cheney told him to do about this Bain disaster.

Probably tell him to shoot them in the face...

I can't wait to see how Romney explains this. This guy blatantly lies more than any presidential candidate I've seen, even John Edwards. And the reason Romney is lying about this is so stupid ... it's simply so the Obama campaign can't nail him for outsourcing jobs to China, and to try avoiding to show his tax returns. He's denying he was CEO of Bain when Bain did nasty stuff.

Of course, when you can't run on your achievements as Governor of a state you didn't really live in, all that's left is, "I'm a good businessman". He was a good investment manager. He didn't develop companies - he created profit for investors. Different thing.

4:30 headlines: more outright proof Romney has lied:

I can't believe how this guy lies ... and can't even cover his tracks. This isn't the private business world. This is politics, where reporters are all over your most intimate secrets. How could Romney think he could get away with this?

Posted late today:

WASHINGTON -- Between 1999 and 2001, Mitt Romney, then the CEO of Bain Capital, signed at least six documents that the private equity firm filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The documents run in direct contradiction to a claim that Romney has made repeatedly: that he had nothing to do with Bain, and therefore no responsibility for Bain investments, during that period.

It's also a claim he made in August 2011 on the federal disclosure form he filed as part of his presidential bid. Romney didn't leave any wiggle room:

That is false.

SEC files include at least six instances of Romney signing documents after February 1999, proving -- unless the signatures were forged -- that his claim to not have "been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way" is wrong.

How anyone avoids mentioning that the head of Obama's jobs council is Jeffrey Immelt and somehow this is a problem for Romney? A private citizen at the time of this egregious and evil outsourcing. When will the President be asked about this in an open forum?
