HRC Scheds Super Tuesday Eve Appearance On Letterman

Hillary Clinton will make her ninth appearance on CBS' "Late Show" on Monday, 2/4, but, more importantly, she's reaching a national audience on the eve on the so-called "national primary" of Super Tuesday. And it's worth noting the announcement comes the day after allegations she made last-minute cancellations on all the cable networks after President Bush's SOTU address.

The CBS show was Clinton's only late night option. David Letterman is the only host who has a deal with the striking TV writers -- and no Democrat will dare cross the picket line -- but, as noted in today's New York Post, NBC's "Tonight Show," even without its writers, is still beating Letterman in the ratings. Last week Jay Leno averaged 5 million viewers to Letterman's 4.1 million viewers.

Clinton isn't the only candidate to take to the late night stage the night before a big primary. Mike Huckabee stopped by Leno's couch the night before the Iowa caucuses and managed a victory in that state. And Huckabee has been most prolific on the last night circuit stopping by the "Late, Late Show" on Jan. 3, the "Late Show" on Jan. 7, and the "Colbert Report" on Jan. 9. But he's not the only one staying up late. Mitt Romney was on the "Tonight Show" on Jan. 18th and John Edwards was on the "Late Show" on Jan. 22nd. (EMILY GOODIN)

Seriously, you Democrats are really dumb. Do you really think Republicans will allow that silly negro to run this country? When we're done with him, you'll look back on all this and think the Clintons were nice to him ! McCain '08 !!!

Do you have to be a complete moron to post on this page? Of course, anyone who isn't an ignoramus knows that Obama isn't a muslim. As for the other racist, wow, you are a massive loser.

Some of the people postings here are disgusting. You must truly hate America if you believe some of the terrible racist things you said. The founding fathers-Washington and Jefferson- were Christians, but were also scholars and fond of the diversity that founded this great nation.

Tragic fools you are....

Barack Obama's dedication to restoring this country to its path of achieving its promise is something all Americans should support. Those who disagree with his policies or are unsatisfied with his credentials are more than justified in expressing their doubts. The rest who are intent on spewing hate and mistrust deserve the government that they currently have. God bless America and God bless Barack Obama.
