Late Night Candidates

I'm watching Sen. John McCain tonight on Late Nite with David Letterman. I find it interesting to see the candidates in this context. Does this help someone running for office to yuck it up on a late night talk show? I know a lot more people will see a candidate on Leno or Letterman than watch a debate. I guess it can only help a candidate like McCain get some national attention while the democrats still fight it out.

For several years now politicians have been making the rounds on the talk show circuit. Actors, authors and others do it for self promotion, why not politicians? I think they may be trying to feel more accessible to the public, but it does take some of the stature off when our potential next president is clowning with the top 10 list. Since they all do it, I figure no harm, no foul.

Nothing new ..Nixon was on laugh in , both Carter boys where on Hee Haw and Billy boy made more appearances on pop culture TV than news programs in his run for office...in fact many voters attribute Bill Clinton's appearance on MTV where he played a sax and did not answer any questions as the reason they voted for him
