Wouldn't be presidential, so why do it?

Why should he waste his time going on a stupid show that isn't funny any more?

The fools at the NYT cannot figure out why Romney won't go on Letterman? Letterman is a nasty, foul left wing nutjob. Leno is different, but SNL should also go pound sand.

Romney wouldn't enter a whorehouse for votes, but Obama would.
Ain't no place low enough that Obama wouldn't enter.

i support him getting his message out....letterman is a radical piece of garbage....snl.....why bother it isnt the least bit appealing to most folks...leno i like ok but mrs romney did the show...leave it at that.....go mitt....

Running the country ain't funny. Why pretend that it is?

Why would Romney expose himself to a bunch of gotcha questions by entertainment lefties?

The nytimes won't ask the relevant question of why obama ducks interviews and press conferences. Instead they seek to legitimize fluff TV interviews Obama does where he entertains scripted softballs from supporters like Jon stewart and mtv lapdogs. The nytimes has no credibility.

Stay away, Governor. First, it's a trap. Second, you don't need them.

I have more respect for Romney now that he hasn't gone on any of these stupid shows. Leno is funny at times but not fit to carry Carson's bags.

In the hopes of dragging this good and decent man down to O's level?

No thank you.

Romney did The View. What did that get him? The Snooki vote?

Stay serious, Mitt.

I am tickled pink that Governor Romney won't do those stupid shows. We don't need our leaders 'closer to the people' we need them working their tail off for the American people.

It just diminishes the stature of the man and the office.

#8 nailed it. Obama won't go to serious venues. The breezy leftism of the fluff stuff is his bread and butter.

From the article, “Not exactly sure what the problem is,” said Rob Burnett, Mr. Letterman’s executive producer.

This the same Letterman who slimed Bristol and Willow Palin?

Pauline Kael Syndrome of a sort. They see themselves as erudite and sophisticated, not as biased and vindictive.

Nobody cooler than a person who stays above the useless fray. In contrast, Obama looks like a desperate loser whose girlfriend is suddenly eyeing the other guy. It shows his trivial, wannabe side.

Read the article above by Michael Ladeen at PJ Medea. He asks why is Obama so vulgar and mean. Obama has no dignity. He and Biden degrade the country and the office of the presidency with their vulgar and undignified comments. That's exactly what SNL, Letterman, et al, do so that is where Obama belongs. Romney is a gentleman, a good and dignified man and he doesn't need to go slumming with cretins of late-night television.

Huge thank you to Mitt Romney for not going on these entertainment shows! It will be so good to have dignity and respect for the Presidency restored! We need a leader who understands the honor of the charge with which he is entrusted, elevates it above himself, and fills the proper role of President and Commander in Chief of our military.

I hope he doesn't. And I hope Mrs. Romney NEVER goes on the VIEW again. That show makes me want to take both a physical AND a mental bath.

Why associate with losers?

The Governor most likely wants to spend his time with real people, not the Hollywood phonies (or O'Reilly for that matter) who simply want to increase ratings. In the case of the late-nighters, their only motive is to undermine the Governor's election bid. Stay away, Mitt.

Leno has been behaving himself lately. Note his Halloween joke:

For an inexpensive costume - just put on an Obama campaign button and go as a journalist.

What #19 said. Lorne Michaels is yesterdays' "star" producer when SNL was funny about 40 years ago. Not anymore. He and his crew of happy-leftist-idiots wore out their welcome years ago. They entertain each other, no one else cares. Mitt Romney is better than that.

i am waiting for obama to grant Mark Levin and interview.

Mitt is too smart to subject himself to the idiots on these shows. Plus, he may be playing the ultimate game of "hard to get" which is also a smart move.

A good rule of thumb for your personal, business, and I suppose political, life is, never attend an event where you know you are unwelcome, even if invited. Especially if you are invited. Rarely does anything good come from exposing yourself to that kind of hostility. Politely decline the invitation and move on to more productive pursuits.

Smart move. They only want to make you look like a fool. Stay above the "common man" trap. The job opening is not for the "common man." It is for an "man of the people," and most people wouldn't get anywhere near that stupid TV show.

One thing Mitt Romney not doing the late night shows and the View does is marginalize them. They have too much power over public opinion and they're just vapid, Dem talking points spewing tools.

Why do network B-listers when Bill Maher is edgier and doesn't need a seven second delay... you know, in case future president Romney decides to display his hipness by reciting Jay-Z rap lines?

Ann and Mitt went on The View to continue destroying Obama's myths about them... the job he started in the first debate.

I doubt President Romney will find much time amidst serious work to place the presidency on the level of a Snookie appearance.

I'm glad?/happy?/enjoy? that Mr. Romney didn't stoop to going on shows that were going to make fun of him.

It's nice to some dignity from candidate; it's been a loooooong time.

Obama will given extra large Hershey bar to any kid who can prove he's from Ohio. Does the kid have to show ID? How about if someone from the SEIU vouches for the kid?

Letterman has mocked and tried to make Romney into a laughing stock, so different from his treatment of Obama. It would be stupid for Romney to go on his show. Besides, it is not presidential to make rounds of these silly shows.

Same with Leno. Like Letterman, albeit not as nasty, he has been attacking Romney but has gone mushy on Obama.

Good! The President needs to NOT go on late night entertainment. That needs to cease and desist immediately and for sure never on trash shows like the View, please!
