32. Gee, I don't know...would I rather see the man who may be the next to be president go onto a late night show with a former comedian, or would I rather him do the job he was elected to do, and actually do it? Hmm...wow, this is a tough choice.

Folks, there is a lot of political siding going on, but please...

What ought to happen is that both presidential candidates shun these types of appearances and do the right thing. Seems like a no brainer to me.

As for Dave...uh, last time I checked, you were an entertainer, a comedian, a talk show host. Do your job.

33. Well, well, well......we have one person that is for Obama that spells fire, fiar and others that think Obama is for the people. Let's see, McCain wants to postpone his debate and his public appearances so that he can go back to Washington to work on the 700 billion dollar bail out, while Obama wants to continue his campaign and wants the debate to continue on as scheduled. The Democrats think that Obama should continue with his plans and screw the importance of the bailout which has a nationwide consequence. Letterman, on the other hand, wants to show his ass by slamming McCain for cancelling his appearance on the show because Letterman doesn't care about the bailout because he's got money and will continue to keep getting paid until what, the economy goes bottoms up, then what will Letterman do.....Talk to himself I hope. I don't rightly care who you vote for, but this Nation is in deep trouble and I'd rather see someone wanting to work at correcting it than out shaking hands and kissing Letterman's ass.

34. Hate to say it but Letterman has jumped the shark. He's lost his edge and is acting like a very bitter man. Had been a fan of his since the early eighties, but the weird pontificating that he has been doing over the last year has turned me off the show. Also, the show is the same thing every night, every cough or laugh is on a cue card. The Top Ten lists are boring and very tired. You'd think Letterman would be happy with his life, he has a family and makes close to $40 million a year. Dave should retire and let someone else take over the show.

35. McCain made the right decision. The economy is in crisis and needs serious attention. Just like Obama made the right decision not going on SNL during Ike, I think it would be wrong for McCain to go on an entertainment show at this time. Maybe the financial impact on Dave is minimal, but some main street americans have a lot at stake right now. Dave seems to forget that he is an entertainer. Then again, many in the entertainment industry seem to have a false sense of importance!

37. Dave's just afraid McCain is going to do Leno instead of his low rated show

38. Hmmm... I'll bet more people would have seen him on Letterman. Big mistake.

39. I love Dave, but come on! The economy is more important then he is. I am disappointed he took it as an opportunity to rip McCain.

40. Hey #19: don't mention God when the man you are voting for is a Muslim. Don't insult our God please! and you are so ignorant....rooting for someone that has no political experience, is a socialist and is a Muslim.....how do you think this qualities can make this country better? Your mind is so manipulated by those bastards just like millions of other "whites" that think Obama is on their side. Just wait and see.....look what happened to Venezuela long time ago; Chavez campaigned like any other democratic candidate manipulating the minds of the poor and ignorant, and now he is freaking bastard! taking the freedom away from the people. This is what I see on Obama

41. As a Canadian I don't know why anyone would want to vote McCain, Obama is clearly the better man. And don't tell me it's none of my business; the fact that your economy is going down the drain affects the world. Please do the right thing and vote Obama.

43. Funny, McCain must have his paid lackeys on here today. Did people see the article about him paying people to write letters to the editor pretending to be the moms of soldiers? He is a disgrace. Anyway, his little economic stunt will get him nowhere. He is now DOWN 9% in the polls, because people know he is clueless about economics, never needing to balance a budget after marrying Cindy McSugar, and they also know Palin is stupid enough to be talked into anything. You could seriously convince her that a $700 billion hockey stadium would jumpstart the national economy. Watch HER interview with Couric. She is a JOKE.

44. Bottom line is McCain is doing something precious, media-loved Obama wasn't going to do. All my life the people in my po-dunk town have said Repubicans are for the rich. How many extra tax checks have Democrats sent you? And oh, my! Here's a Republican worrying about our economy, our jobs...Letterman can gripe and poke fun all he wants. Most of us aren't filthy rich for having a cynical sense of humor. I need my job to be there in 6 months, a year...

45. McCain would have had a bigger audience had he been on Letterman. Gotta love Dave, he's the best.
