It’s not only CNN and Sunday morning political shows for presidential candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush. The candidates (and their running mates) have been making the rounds on Oprah, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and even MTV’s Choose or Lose.
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has also joined the fray. Earlier this year she chatted with David Letterman in her bid for the New York Senate race.
Letterman has suggested an on-air debate between Gore and Bush on his show—based on a jai alai scoring system. “If you turn it down, see, it makes you look like you’re scared,” he’s prodded Bush on-air, “like you’re a little girl. Nobody wants a little girl in the White House.”
Missed the fun? Here’s a few highlights.
