Bush to go on 'Oprah'

By Associated Press, 9/3/2000

HICAGO - Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush has agreed to a live interview with talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, a week after his Democratic rival makes a similar appearance.

Bush will appear on the talk show Sept. 18, Winfrey spokeswoman Audrey Pass said.

Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore will be a guest on the show Sept. 11, which kicks off Winfrey's 15th season. Her talk show announced that Bush would appear on the show just a day after the announcement about Gore on Thursday. Winfrey's show is popular with women, and both campaigns are competing for their votes.
