If you ever wanted to see someone get caught bald faced lying before a live studio audience, tune into David Letterman tonight. Make sure you watch at least through the first guest. Someone has committed a severe tactical error. After you see it, tell me how/if this will effect the election.

All I will say it John McCain was supposed to be the first guest. What happens during the taping ... well ... you'll just have to see. I'm sure it will be on YouTube soon (if not already).

if he suspended his campaign and then tapes an interview with katie couric it means that something big is going to break over night. someone has dirt and he had to tape a confessional interview to hear off the bad PR at the pass.
edit: spoiler tag that shit mikey.

You mean other than the ABC poll released last night showing Obama had a 9 point lead over him?
fucked i tell ya.
since polls always so accurate, especially this far out from election. at the beginning of august didn't obama have like 100% of the vote?
now palin has garnered 41% or more?

Suspending his campaign? Yeah, duh. He's trying to show he has leadership by "putting aside politics" to show he's there to help. Too bad he really doesn't sit on any committees that would help work this thing out.
didn't obama already say he's going on with the debates and mccain should be able to do 2 things at once? he'll be there.
I'm not saying polls are accurate, but it is a weird coincidence considering they were statically tied for ... as long as I can recall. This is the first polling that puts either of them outside the margin of error. I honestly think it has more to do with running out of money and being sacred of a drubbing at the debates.

JonnyB already posted a link giving away the punchline. If you don't feel like clicking, I'll see if I can't find it on Youtube tomorrow.
i trust intrade. obama has bounced back into the lead there. currently an obama win is trading at 55 (out of a possible 100) and a mccain win is trading at 44.6. Much closer than it was before the Palin announcement (when it was typically 60-40 favoring Obama)
I guess you didn't look at how the poll was weighted. You'd rather swallow their bullshit whole.

Soooo do I look as young as I look?
I think this was a complete bullshit move. I think it makes McCain look very self-righteous. What right does he have to "fix" the budget? If he really gave a shit about this country he would have included Obama as well. I completely believe that this was a political stunt. And it has only made me secure my vote for Obama.

And I think it was extremely inappropriate to cancel Letterman and jump to another show. I know that Letterman may not be as important but if you give your word keep it. Thats the whole honor thing.
Bingo. It would be even smarter not to jump ship to another show on the same network ... that was the part that blew me away.
You missed my point. It doesn't matter how the poll was weighted. I don't really care what it says. The point is not how I react to the poll, but how the canidates react to the poll.I guess you didn't look at how the poll was weighted. You'd rather swallow their bullshit whole.
I really couldn't give two shits how the rest of the country is voting. Anyone who knows how I voted in the primaries knows that.
