Obama now plans to appear on Bill O'Reilly's prime-time Fox program on Thursday, the night that John McCain delivers his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here.

Isn't this unprecedented? Has a candidate ever intruded like this into his opponents convention climax? They're giving him the opportunity to reply to the acceptance speech. When has that ever happened?

The meeting appears to have eased tensions between the two camps, which began when all the Democratic candidates, complaining that the network favors Republicans, refused to hold any primary-season debates on Fox. After resisting invitations for months, Obama now plans to appear on Bill O'Reilly's prime-time Fox program on Thursday, the night that John McCain delivers his acceptance speech at the Republican convention here.

This is an obvious attempt by the Obamites to try to suck some of the wind out of McCain's acceptance speech.
