Republican presidential candidate John McCain will be interviewed live on the web today by Hoover Institution fellow Peter Robinson, whose Uncommon Knowledge video interview series I first became aware of recently thanks to his excellent interview of Fred Thompson interview, which has been viewed on Google Video by more than 26,000 people so far.
The McCain interview live webcast from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University begins at 7 p.m. Eastern time (that's 6 p.m. in the Central time zone, 5 p.m. Mountain and 4 p.m. on the Left Coast). It will be available on the home page of the Hoover Institution, www.hoover.org.
UPDATE: The interview now may not begin until 7:30 p.m. Eastern/6:30 Central.
UPDATE: Technical problems prevented the interview from being streamed on the Hoover.org website, but McCain's appearance at Stanford, at the Always On Summit, is on the AlwaysOn website here.
I'm guessing the interview also will be archived for future viewing.
Only time will tell if the McCainiacs top the 26,000-plus views of the Thompson interview
Uncommon Knowledge began life as a weekly show on PBS, and now is a web-only production of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Robinson - fans of Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech should know that Robinson was the speechwriter - has interviewed a number of interesting guests lately. You can see a complete archive here.
Robinson's recent interview guests have included:
Former Attorney General and iraq Study Group member Ed Meese discussing the Iraq Study Group's recommendations.
Michael Spence, Philip H. Knight Professor Emeritus of Management in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University, on economic growth in India and China.
Constitutional law professors Richard Epstein and John Yoo on consitutional issues raised by the war on terror, including the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, terrorist trials, and more.Mississippi Gov. Hayley Barbour, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, on How the GOP Can Get its Groove Back.
