The site is extremely eye catching and pulls the reader straight in, the articles are great quality and are very professionally written. I have seen too many of these sites where it looks like they pay an 8 year old to do the writing - Not this one. Your site is easily the best that I have seen in a long while.

Letterman, are you that important? I am staying up late writing a proposal, and didn't turn the channel.

Letterman is acting like a little girl called ugly-I stopped watching this guy when he had to bring his own mom to boost his ratings....never a clever boy! Whine away! Who cares? :roll: Who cares???

Letterman has every single right to be mad about it. the fact is simple, McCain lied. if he wanted to do the interview with Katie it is not a problem, if he do it the right way i.e arranging schedule, let letterman knows a couple days before instead of lying with that "national economy" issue when he didnt even leave until the next day! think about it USA, your next president is not only going to be your new commander in chief but also represent you infront of the world. I am so sick and tired hearing how foreign people and country hate America because of Mr. Bush. I really want USA to be respected highly as she deserves. the next president is not for USA only, it is for the world, I can only imagine the worst about another republican in the white house.. failing economy, global warming, soldiers abroad, woman's right to have an abortion, same sex marriage, universal health care, so many things we need to improve..

Long story short: McCain blew it and then tried to cover his tracks by having some minion spin PR plates for him. What nobody seems to have pointed out amidst all of the "Letterman sucks/he should quit whining" comments is one small fact: Dave has always had the greatest amount of respect for McCain, considers him a "hero," and there's a certain amount of hero worship involved. So when his hero lied to him this way, and left him in the lurch, it cut a bit deeper than the usual last-minute cancellation would have done. McCain lied. No matter whether you like Letterman's show or not, the fact is simple: McCain lied. And when caught lying, he didn't 'fess up to it -- he kept on lying. McCain could have just told the truth, but preferred not to do so. And when anyone lies in such a public fashion, that person is going to take the heat for it. As to those of you who say Leno has a better show: do you think Leno would have dealt with this any better? He would have been just as pissed off as Letterman. “Also, it was very ugly of him to show Senator McCain in his make-up room”

That wasn’t his “make-up room,” unless it’s also Katie Couric’s “make-up room” and said room has a news desk with 42 cameras pointed at it.

David Letterman's show has become a has been and just down right silly. If Letterman does not understand the importance of our economy over his pathetic show, he needs his head examined. Also, it was very ugly of him to show Senator McCain in his make-up room. Do yourself a favor and just stop watching David Letterman! That's what I have decided to do. Jay Leno's show is definitely more entertaining! Why watch David Letterman when you can improve your entertainment with Jay Leno???

Gore was and is kind of a stiff - a brilliant stiff, and a decent man. He ran a crap campaign, and even then, he won the popular vote. The biggest thing going agains him was the press - they hated Gore, and bent over backwards to ensure a Bush victory. Not so much with McCain - the mainstream American press is currently in full revolt... Letterman is the least of McCain's problems. Re: Palin - when conservative types like George Will hate Palin, she's got problems. The Biden/Palin debate will be very interesting. @Mairead – Yeah, yeah.

That way everyone would have saved face. What's that old adage? - it's one thing to lie, but it's quite another to be found out so foolishly. Kaiser and Syko, re. 2000 election, I don't blame you for being upset, many of us on this side of the Atlantic weren't delighted either. But I have to say I did catch a few interviews that Gore did and to be honest I think he muffed it. He came across as stiff and patronising and could see why Bush's "Gee shucks" schtick would be popular. To a certain extent it would be nice if this stunt by McCain did damage his standing to an extent, but I don't think it will. I've thought for quite a few weeks now that the Republicans will get it again. You're in a time of economic crisis and in times of war or financial upheaval people will not vote for radical change. I was talking with people in the politics game and they agree and feel that, despite what we think, Palin was a master-stroke. I think she's basically Dubya in a skirt.

Does he not realise that he's in the public eye now? everywhere he goes will be documented by someone! I'm aussie but I really hope you americans do the right thing for everyone and vote in Obama. It doesn't just affect the US, it affects the whole world. Obama represents change, and moving forward, whereas McCain is much of the same, you know? And I would never come to the USA if it was run by Sarah Palin, F- that! The woman is relgiion obsessed and if she's put in power she will probably start more wars.. did you hear what she said about the iraq war? that its what god intended. How the hell would she know what god intended? she'll ruin the environment trying to drill for oil, but worst of all, demolish everything women have worked hard for (ie the right to have the choice of what they do with their bodies) and thats the last thing this world needs more of!

My sense is that both McCain and Obama are reluctant to really commit on any difficult issues because their strategists are in terror of losing the swing voters. Lose your integrity but by God, win at all costs.... If McCain really HAD gone to DC, that would have been a saavy political move. All the politicians are playing to the public, so we are getting just what we deserve.
