I’ve been wondering about the fairness doctrine. It seems that BJ has a new book and he’s hitting all the talk shows pimping for Hillary.

What about equal time?

Exactly.

Except Leno’s audience is in the multi-millions.

The average person doesn’t care about the debates, much less about campaign staff changes. The issues are the issues - his positions on them and how he would handle them as president.

You may want them all to coalesce around one candidate, but without Thompson that one will be Giulianni, who most here don’t want.

Wow. I didn’t think he would announce on Leno.

But, who cares how he did it; he did it. YAY!!

As abhorrent as it is, it is a fact that name recognition plays a great deal in American politics.

Out of the spectrum of pubbie candidates, I see only two that have even the remotest possibility of defeating Hillary.

Guliani or Thompson.

That’s it.

Yes we all get tired of things because we read FR all day every day and it seems like old news to news junkies. The average person doesn’t care much about the election yet, and I don’t blame them.

[.. Why ... Leno ??? ..]

Because he is not a commie Clintoonoid like Letterman..
Leno is just embarrassed by what the network pays him like any liberal..
A Normal-phobic like DeGeneres is just abnormal..

Yes, it does seem that rudy gave the dems everything they wanted.

America will not vote to two people from New York.
