JOHN MCCAIN

A few weeks back, I introduced you to my friend, 18-year-old KENSIE MONTALTO, who I met at a Make-A-Wish Foundation event. Kensie has been courageously battling the autoimmune disease, "dermatomyositis." After meeting her in Chicago, I invited her onto the show and surprised her with a call from Kenny Chesney. Then, we sent her to Las Vegas to report on the Academy of Country Music Awards. Thursday, Kensie will be back to tell us all about Las Vegas and the awards!

Then, I have had the pleasure of interviewing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Now it's time to talk with the Republican candidate for president, a true American hero, Senator JOHN MCCAIN. We'll get some straight talk from the Senator from Arizona; I'll ask about his campaign, and I want to find out if it's really true that he once had a vodka drinking contest with Hillary.

Plus, after moving to Puerto Rico, STEVE MCGARVA discovered that a nearby beach was a dumping ground for unwanted dogs. With his own money, Steve and his wife formed "Island Dogs," a foundation that has rescued 1,200 dogs and placed 500 around the US. I can't wait to meet this wonderful man with a mission, whose selfless actions have helped so many warm and furry souls.

1. Uh....is the title of your post sarcastic?

9. Sorry....I know people on here love her...

..and good for her for all of her views or being a role model and what have you. But as an entertainment figure and talk show host and all around personality I find her insufferable. I simply cannot watch her. Good for her though if she really does call him out, I just can't really stand her for more than a minute at a time.

2. How do you know she's gonna ask any tough questions?

walk her down the isle this summer as she is planning to marry!!!! Now that is worth watching! LOL!

if you don't mind me asking... I can't watch video or listen to audio here at work.

11. The election, Obama, and the CA SCt overturning

the right to marry. They're going to talk about it after this commercial.

He said; "I can hardly wait" and laughed nervously.

I don't have any video or audio though... this is on the TV. ;)

Also discussing Iraq and troop withdrawals and high gas prices.... so far..
