1. Good---I think that was the best thing to do.

Someone this morning on DU suggested he should and the OP caught a lot of flak. But I agreed.

2. The right thing to do

in light of hurricane Ike. Hopefully he'll reschedule soon.

3. Yes - right thing to do and maybe he can be on next week.

4. Just heard that as well, IMHO a good call, I wish he was running in our election I really admire

this man because I think he truly wants what is best for the Country.

5. He should show up anyway for a few minute segment

with Tina as Palin asking for everyone watching to contribute what they could for storm relief. Something like, "This is only Tina pretending to be one of my opponents for the next couple of months but no matter which of us you support, I ask you to donate time/money/blood whatever to "Red Cross, etc... ). If done funny, sincere and lighthearted, it could be a great spot.

6. Yeppers, good call. I agree, a few minutes to appeal for relief efforts

and COMMUNITY ORGANIZING and a promise to return soon - that'd be perfect.
