Hillary Clinton now set for a 'Letterman' star turn
Fair is fair.
On the heels of Barack Obama's starring role Thursday in the Top Ten segment on the "Late Show with David Letterman," CBS has announced that Hillary Clinton will get the same slot on Monday's show.
Obama had delivered a Top Ten list back in January, but Clinton is a veritable mainstay for Letterman. The CBS release announcing her latest appearance notes that it will be the 11th time she's been a part of the program.
And, actually, perhaps there is a fairness question surrounding the chance Clinton gets for friendly exposure on a broadcast network on the eve of the North Carolina and Indiana primaries.
Got to give her campaign credit, though: It's getting better at this gambit. On the eve of the crucial Ohio and Texas primaries, in early March, her chance to soften her image was confined to cable -- a guest spot on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."

No matter what the pundits say, Hillary will be the nominee. After she wins this week in Indiana and maybe in North Carolina the same pundits that were saying that Indiana was the "tie breaker" are going to start all over with the "Why can't Barack close the deal?" With momentum she will win Kentucky and West Virginia and Obama is going to look as flat as she did in February. But the difference is, she will be the one with the better poll numbers against McCain. No way they give it to Obama knowing that he is weak. I'm calling Obama drops out to run as her VP for the good of the party. Then 8 years later, he runs again..

Interesting point. She WILL be getting some friendly coverage at an opportune time. Savvy of her campaign, which has been steadily improving over the past month or so. The momentum is with her for sure.

Obama was caled for Letterman and appeared. CLINTONS are ABUSING it by appearing day before PRIMARIES so TELL MORE LIES.
Surprisingly still some AMERICANS are falling for LIARS.
I always believed LIE is BIG OFFENCE IN USA compared to other countries.
Welcome to 21st year of BUSH+CLINTON REGIME.
