May 13 Preview: Giuliani, McCain and Obama
It's a big weekend for the 2008 campaign on the Sunday shows, with a trio of major candidates making appearances.
"Fox News Sunday" has former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R). Hot topic: Giuliani's position on abortion rights, as he outlined Friday in a speech in Houston.
NBC's "Meet the Press" has Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). Hot topic: Whether he can convince conservatives he is their best candidate.
ABC's "This Week" has Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Hot topic: Whether he can sustain the momentum of the first few months on the campaign.
CBS "Face the Nation" has a potential 2008 candidate, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.). Hagel will almost certainly be asked again whether he plans to run for president. Other likely topics is his support for measures to end the Iraq war -- a position that might preclude him for running for the GOP nomination if he does decide to run for president.
And CNN's "Late Edition" has a long list of Capitol Hill personalities, with scheduled appearances by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), as well as former Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.). McConnell, who appeared on washingtonpost.com's PostTalk this week, will probably be asked about the latest Democratic proposals to fund the Iraq war for only a few months, as well as any concerns among GOP lawmakers that President Bush's troop "surge" policy won't have shown clear results by September.
Check back Sunday afternoon for The Talk's review of who said what.

It seems to us that Hillary is being avoided by the TV Sunday Morning Talk shows. Why?

Nothing about the Department of Justice politicization scandal, or the fact that George Tenet is laughing all the way to the Bank of Slam Dunk? How about a discussion of instant runoff voting or whether the Electoral College is outdated? Give us some meat instead of political spin.

I'll be curious to hear Rudy -- not so much specifically about abortion, but his ability to think on his feet REGARDLESS of the particular subject. To date, I don't feel he has particularly shown this trait.

It seems to me that Hillary is avoiding the Sunday Morning TV talk shows. I wonder why?
