How many are?
I'm dead serious, by the way - this is exactly the kind of work that firms pay me to perform every week. I'm not making this up - this is literally the mechanism for political consulting and spin. Verbatim.

LOL. I don't know. But it often seems to me that the effect of people like Letterman can be undervalued in shaping public opinion, even if in subtle ways.
BTW, not sure I'm following on the kind of work firms pay you to perform every week. PR? Polling?

I'm sure he realized what a mistake it was to even consider out loud that he might not be there

I just got back from Rock the Debate in the Grove at Ole Miss! It was so much fun. For a minute I felt like I wasn't in Oxford with all of the media and people. It should be fun to watch the debate tonight!

This is very true - and I think that McCain probably made a massive, massive misstep there. People like Letterman, who are viewed (rightly or wrongly) as objective and somewhat trustworthy just by nature of being there every night, carry massive credibility.

Check your PMs - we don't often work with polling firms or polling data, mostly because the major polls (Gallup excluded) use questionable methods (and there's more money in private-sector work). If you've ever heard Zogby speak, the dude's pretty big on himself and his 'unique' style.
However, the last 15 years have seen major strides in decision-making research - both sides use a variety of consultants, often separating the "image" consultants from the "message" guys, unless it's a strategist like Rove who can handle both.
