writers strike affecting '08 election

the writers strike is not only affecting the media, it's onto politics. the writer's strike is taking away candidates main stops on the campaign road - talk shows. many candidates such as hillary clinton and john and elizabeth edwards have canceled talk show appearances. john edwards has even joined the picket line.
so is the strike hurting or helping politics? probably both. it's however the candidates choose to use it in their campaign.
abc calls it a symbiotic relationship. how? the talk show writers rely on the candidates for material, and in return, the candidates get face time. they basically feed off of each other's fire. now it's just happening on the picket line.
