Obama does Letterman, polls open in 22 hours


COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sen. Barack Obama did a cameo on "The Late Show with David Letterman" last night, giving a Top 10 list and joking with Dave about how the host mussed up former Sen. John Edwards' hair recently.


Among Obama's list of his "campaign promises":

"Appoint Mitt Romney Secretary of Lookin' Good"


"If you bring a gator to the White House, I'll wrassle it"


"I'll rename the tenth month of the year 'Barack-tober'"


"Pronounce the word nuclear, nuclear"

Here's some video:



Sen. Hillary Clinton has been on Letterman many times, but she dazzled the comedian this summer by reprising some of his jokes about her pantsuits.

Here's the video of Letterman and Edwards from earlier this week.



Edwards, who had a huge crowd last night in a sort of homecoming in Seneca, is attracting some voters who are tired of the Obama-Clinton squabbling. (Here's my story in today's paper from the campaign trail.)


Some shots from yesterday:

I'm hitting the road on an admittedly ambitious quest to try and see all three candidates — and their spouses — today in the Palmetto State. Polls open tomorrow at 7 a.m.
