Two presidential candidates, two celebrity interviewers, two agendas, one audience: the undecided superdelegates likely to select the Democratic nominee.
Just two days before key primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, the peculiar ritual of the Sunday news show took on high drama as Obama and Clinton each made hour-long solo appearances — Obama on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and Clinton on ABC’s “This Week.” While the shows are seen by relatively few voters, they hold considerable sway among opinion leaders.
