With 8 days and counting until the election, the airwaves are getting mighty crowded. Candidates, pundits and celebrities are all vying for some air time this week in a last ditch effort to bring their political views to the TV watching public.
They NYTimes reports that the week ahead is chock full of political programming:
Viewers can see Sean Combs…with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News tonight. Later in the evening, Madeleine K. Albright, the former secretary of state who advises Senator John Kerry, will be interviewed not by network anchors but by Jon Stewart on Comedy Central’s “Daily Show,” on which the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson is scheduled to show up on Wednesday..The second part of [Charlie] Gibson’s interview [with President Bush]is to run tomorrow morning [on Good Morning America]. Mr. Bush has also granted an interview to the Spanish-language network Telemundo that is scheduled for broadcast on Thursday.
Former President Bill Clinton also made an appearance on the GMA this morning to campaign for Sen. Kerry. DCist is glad that Bill is up and around, we’ve missed him quiet a bit during this campaign, though it concerns us that he’s gotten so skinny. All this election coverage really makes us wonder what people will have to talk about on Nov. 3.
