Highlights from "The Tonight Show"

Jay Leno mixed up the interview (watch it here) with Mitt Romney touching on the serious and the lighthearted:

  • Mitt discusses how he starts the day with Ann's granola and jogs three miles every other day.

  • Leno likes that it's a "real moment' when Romney confronts the reporter at the Staples store who accuses him of allowing a lobbyist to run his campaign.

  • Mitt left michigan 41 years ago; it was his sense of optimism contrasted with McCain's pessimism that resonated with the people of Michigan.

  • Mitt believes in putting "more money in the hands of individuals" and wants to less money spent on tort lawsuits, more on innovation.

  • Ann is campaigning in Las Vegas and that's where Mitt is headed.

  • Leno jokes that he's got "35 children"; it's clear that Parker Mitt is the standout and is referred to as the "little campaigner."

  • Tomorrow is South Carolina and Nevada, and as Mitt said, "all conventional wisdom is out the window here."

  • And in the spirit of a late night comedy show it ended with a joke: Jay Leno asks, "whose got a bigger head [Romney or Ted Kennedy]." Mitt answers, "it's a competition all three of us could join."
