Obama, McCain To Interview On Monday Night Football

One day away from the election, and Monday Night Football makes the political headlines. Tonight's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Washington Redskins will pause for interviews with candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.

Both candidates have busy Monday schedules, and the interviews will give both candidates a last major chance to appeal to Americans during a coveted spot on prime-time television. "Monday Night Football" has averaged 12.2 million viewers this season.

Both candidates are pleased with the way Americans have dedicated themselves to either candidate.

"I just want all of you to know that if we see this kind of dedication on
Election Day, there is no way that we're not going to bring change to America,"
said Obama

The game, between the host Washington Redskins and the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be the first NFL game played in the D.C. area on the Monday night before a presidential election in 24 years.
