I just heard that John McCain is in negotiations to return to David Letterman next week around the time of the last debate. I don't think Barack Obama should let Senator McCain have a monopoly on the talk show circuit during the last four weeks of the campaign.
Senator Obama needs to hit the talks shows again during the last month of the campaign. BIll Clinton used the talk shows to great effect when he was running for President in 1992 and 1996 and Barack Obama should do the same.
I think Barack Obama will get a very enthusiastic response with the Tonight show audience and with the Letterman audience.
I would even go so far as to suggest appearances on Rachael Ray, Bonnie Hunt, and Ellen. The View would be another good place to make an appearance. I most definitely think he should also make an appearance on Oprah.
He could even consider appearances on Jimmie Kimmel's and Craig Ferguson's shows although since they are on so late and their audiences are relatively small he simply might not have time for these shows.
