Late-Night GOP Ratings War

For his return to “The Tonight Show,” Jay Leno booked a week’s worth of ratings-friendly guests, including Sarah Palin — who appears Tuesday night. David Letterman responded by booking his own political guest for the same night: Mitt Romney.

And so the late-night battle for ratings hinges on two GOP stars with one thing in common: Palin and Romney have some of the best hair in politics.

But whereas Romney’s standard, well-groomed cut doesn’t seem to change, Palin has been letting her hair down — literally. Her high, twisted up-do is no longer the given it was in the 2008 campaign. For an appearance on “Fox News Sunday” and at a NASCAR speech, she sported a more natural coiffure.
