From a Washington Post piece on a Mitt Romney lunch with reporters in D.C. yesterday (right before he pitched a Heritage Foundation crowd on his health-care plan –yes, the one Sally Pipes doesn’t like):

Toward the end he was asked about 2008, Iraq, and the possibility that he and Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) might end up as rivals. “Do you fantasize about that?” he was asked.
“Not about that, no,” he replied to laughter. Referring to his wife, he said: “I told Ann that I was coming here to speak to you today, and I said ‘Sweetheart, in your wildest dreams, did you ever see me coming here and speaking to this group?’ and she said ‘Mitt, you weren’t in my wildest dreams.’ ” That sounded like a line GOP audiences are likely to hear repeatedly over the next few years.

Yup. I’ve heard it a few times now. But it’s an endearing one.
