So you think the candidates just get to order the shows to let them appear?
I've wondered how Huckabee has managed to get these spots. Is he invited because he is perceived as an entertaining personality by the shows' producers? Are many of them invited and he is the only one with the courage and self confidence to accept the invitation? Is he the only one who makes himself available by making that fact known to the producers. I really don't know how he is getting it done. I just think it benefits his campaign and speaks to his willingness and good judgement to do things that benefit his campaign.
I just finished watching him on Letterman. I was very surprised to learn that he is returning to New Hampshire. I thought he would head to S.C. from NY. But nope, he's gonna make that extra effort in New Hampshire on the day of the election. He sure works hard.
