Tonight's Line up for Dean: Debate, World News Tonight & Letterman

[dave29]

Lets start to prejudge his performance now, so we can get it over with ;)

seriously though - sounds like Dean is going on the PR offensive now that everybody's had their fun.

[robsul82]

1. Going on Letterman, eh? Guess someone told Trippi Leno's a whore.

Good job, Howard. Give 'em Hell.

Later.

RJS

[mandyky]

24. Dean was already on Leno

several months ago.

[robsul82]

29. Yeah, I know.

And Leno was a hoochie. Something tells me Trippi would've said "LENO!" if someone didn't tell him.

Later.

[LuminousX]

2. It's about time

He needed to be doing this awhile ago.

[bloom]

3. Letterman will be something to watch!

:)

[Guaranteed]

4. Letterman???

Oh THANK GOD. :)

Everything's going to be fine. We're rolling.

[Ripley]

5. Is World News Tonight the Diane Sawyer interview?

Or is that a special after the news?

[dave29]

14. I think it is the interview

but I'm not sure!

[Guaranteed]

30. Where'd you hear about this?

:)

[Ripley]

40. CNN said Diane Sawyer is interviewing Judy Dean tonight.

And Howard. 10 pm eastern on PrimeTime on ABC.

[On the Road]

6. Yeeee-Hah!

That's where he needs to be. He just has to be human and be able to laugh at himself.

Maybe all is not lost.

[teevee99]

50. ironic post title

;)

[Anwen]

7. Sweet!

I can't wait to watch Letterman! This will definitely help turn things around...

GO DEAN!!! :D

[creativelcro]

10. What time ? I never watch it.... Tx

[Anwen]

27. It comes on here at 11:35 p.m.

in California. I've been other places where it comes on at 11:00 p.m.

[Guaranteed]

8. I sent deanforamerica an email...

I thought Dean could come out with a joke- "Leno got Hugh Grant, you got me." Whaddaya think?

[robsul82]

11. Pretty funny, but...

...if Letterman has Dean read the top 10 and #1 is (for either SOME reason or maybe it's better if it's none at all) "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", it'll be HYSTERICAL.

Later.

RJS

[Guaranteed]

12. That'd be awesome, too

I'm excited. This could work in our favor.

[robsul82]

19. Maybe he should bring his guitar and...

...sing a silly tune about losing a big lead in the polls and being an underdog again and punctuate every line with "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It could work.

Later.

RJS

[LuminousX]

13. My joke for Dean (self-serving)

"Well, Jon Stewart woudn't return my calls, so here I am."

[Guaranteed]

16. Hee hee...I think everyone should come up with a joke

and send it to them...

[Ripley]

26. Is that you Jon?

Self-serving?

[LuminousX]

31. Self-serving because I prefer The Daily Show to Letterman

[Ripley]

42. Darn. I was hoping you were him...love that guy.

I've never seen Letterman or Leno. I know, I know. I also don't have a cell phone. I'm so unhip I guess.

[joefree1]

9. I Scream, You Scream, We all scream for ...

for Howard Dean.

[Cuban_Liberal]

15. Good moves.

Contrary to what we see here, Americans are not mean-spirited people, and are quite willing to forgive. If he 'hits it out of the park' tonight, it will help him a lot. :)

[Guaranteed]

18. This could help him MASSIVELY

with all the attention he's gotten in the past two days...if he turns it around, rolls with it....my God...

[Cuban_Liberal]

23. He could literally 'save' his campaign.

Also a smart move doing the interview with Dianne sawyer, with Dr. Steinberg-Dean at his side. It'll make him seem more 'human'. :)

[soleft]

17. This is good news re: Letterman!!

Maybe it will have the Clinton playing the sax on Arenio affect. Fingers crossed!

[w13rd0]

21. I can't see how anyone could have read that Rolling Stones interview...

...and not been bowled over. Just the stuff he said about Saudi Arabia and China...nothing short of a shot across the bow.

[robsul82]

22. This could DEFINITELY be the Clinton/Arsenio moment for the Dean campaign.

Oooooh, I'm excited now.

Later.

RJS

[Qutzupalotl]

20. Great!

This will put him out ahead of the curve and show he has a sense of humor.

Personally, I don't think the voice thing was any big deal, but the media sure has played that clip to death. Guess I won't be doing my James Brown impersonation on Star Search anytime soon.

[Guaranteed]

32. This is AWESOME...

now THIS is a second wind. HEE HEE!!

[wndycty]

25. He needs to be in the studio. . .not via satelite

. . . and with Dean being in New Hampshire it might be pretty easy for him to fly down. If its via satelie he will most likely not be able to see Dave and play off of him.

[Renew Deal]

28. Letterman is taped at 4:00 PM.

[dave29]

hahaha

you should become his campaign coordinator. Nice to see you are concerned about Dean having a positive image though, for once. ;)

[wndycty]

46. Well I am a publicist by trade. . .

. . .its what I do, among other things I advise clients how to deal with the media. Given Dave's comedic style it works better for Dean if he is in studio.

[LuminousX]

51. I recall the Bush appearance where Bush wasn't in the studio

It made Bush seem worse than he normally is because of the slight delay. Dean doesn't need any quirky things like that to muss up his appearance.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

33. Line for Dean on Letterman:

"This is the problem that occurs when you have been listening to Sammy Hagar in the van all day". ;-)

[Guaranteed]

37. LOL that IS a good one nt

[Cassandra]

34. You forgot Primetime Live

Diane Sawyer's interviewing both Deans.

[WI_DEM]

35. Good he needs to show on Letterman

that he is a personable guy with a good sence of humor. He should joke about his speech on Monday night and put all of this to bed. More than that though, he needs a good debate performance.

[Guaranteed]

38. Good point. nt

[robsul82]

36. This is it for the Dean campaign, seriously. Make or break.

This is probably even more important than the debate tonight. If he pulls it off, Dean's golden again. If he doesn't, if it's crappy or even just average, it'll probably be the end.

Later.

[mandyky]

39. What channel is World News Tonight on?

What time?

[Ripley]

41. ABC, 10 pm eastern.

Prime Time show.

[mandyky]

43. So that's the Diane Sawyer interview?

Or is that on another show?

[Ripley]

49. Yes. eom

n/t

[edzontar]

44. I'll be watching---go Dean!!!!

Maybe this will help to put all the freeper-driven media garbage against the only real threat to the pig establishment in its deserved place--the dustbin of history.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

45. Smartest Thing Dean Could Do, IMO

He needs to get his own message out there, and fast. This is good for him. The question is whether it will have been soon enough. I guess we'll see.

I am dying of excitement and anxiety about NH!

DTH

[edzontar]

47. Dear DTH--This is how we all felt last weekend.....

I wish I could tell you it gets better...but you see how it worked out for my guy...YEEEARGH indeed.....


Try to get some sleep and watch your blood pressure, is my advice.

[cthrumatrix]

48. I think I hear "a bounce" coming in to the Dean campaign.
