Quote:

He may bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders, but Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is still making the rounds of the Sunday talk shows, sitting for no fewer than four interviews — on “Fox News Sunday,” ABC’s “This Week,” CBS’s “Face the Nation” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

Paulson headlines “Fox News Sunday” to discuss the federal government’s emergency plan to stabilize the nation’s economy, badly shaken by the continuing housing crisis and the failure of several of the nation’s largest investment banks.

Can the Treasury secretary assure nervous investors the economy will rebound?

Fox also focuses Sunday on congressional plans for the economic bailout with Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona.

Will they predict swift passage of Paulson’s plan next week?

ABC’s “This Week” also stays on the economy, featuring, in addition to Paulson, an interview with Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), who has taken a leading role in congressional negotiations with the administration.

Will Dodd offer any new details on the back and forth over the bailout plan?

Also on ABC, House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) offers his perspective on the congressional response to the financial meltdown.

Stephanopoulos then leads an all-ABC roundtable on the economy with Sam Donaldson, Cokie Roberts, George Will and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile.

In addition to Paulson, CBS’s “Face the Nation” hears from House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who has been leading the bailout efforts on the House side.

Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, follows Frank with the GOP perspective.

Will conservative Republicans swallow another massive federal government bailout?

NBC’s “Meet the Press” follows Paulson with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who offers his own perspective on the Wall Street crisis.

What will Bloomberg (who knows a thing or two about business) have to say about the state of the economy?

NBC moderator Tom Brokaw also leads a roundtable on the economy with Steve Pearlstein of The Washington Post and CNBC's Steve Liesman, Erin Burnett and John Harwood.

CNN’s “Late Edition” features an interview with Republican presidential contender John McCain’s economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who has found himself in some hot water lately for alleging that his boss helped create the BlackBerry, only to have a McCain campaign press aide dismiss it as a “boneheaded joke.”

Former U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman, a former Republican congressman from Ohio, then offers his take on the economy.

Frank will be busy this weekend, too, as he also appears on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers,” where he’ll be questioned by Neil Irwin of The Washington Post and Dawn Kopecki of Bloomberg News.

And the chairman sits as well for an interview on Bloomberg’s "Political Capital.”

Fresh from their first debate and with America’s economy still teetering, the Republican and Democratic presidential rivals take to the airwaves Sunday for a pair of highly anticipated interviews.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) appears on “This Week” for what ABC is billing as his first post-debate interview.

McCain shook up the presidential race Wednesday when he abruptly temporarily suspended his campaign to return to Washington to work on the emergency legislation being drafted to kick start the nation’s dangerously clogged credit system.

What will McCain have to say about his role in the negotiations?

“This Week” host George Stephanopoulos also leads a roundtable discussion of the week’s dramatic developments in Washington and on the campaign trail with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), The Washington Post's Steve Pearlstein, The American Prospect's Robert Reich and ABC's George Will.

Looking for some post-debate momentum as well, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) sits for the full 30 minutes on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

What will his take be on the economic crisis with Election Day hardly a month away?

On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Tom Brokaw visits with former President Bill Clinton about all things political.

Who will Clinton declare a winner in the all-important first debate?

Afterward, Brokaw interviews Obama strategist David Axelrod and McCain strategist Steve Schmidt. And he’ll moderate a high-stakes debate between a pair of Colorado Senate hopefuls — Democratic Rep. Mark Udall and former Republican Rep. Bob Schaffer.

CNN’s “Late Edition” focuses on foreign policy, featuring an exclusive interview with Pakistan’s new president, Asif Ali Zardari.

Host Wolf Blitzer also gets an update on the bailout negotiations from House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.).

Will he have a deal to tout?

Author Thomas Friedman rounds out the CNN lineup, promoting his new book, “Hot, Flat and Crowded.”

“Fox News Sunday” welcomes back a pair of familiar Sunday morning faces — Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee. Each will push his candidates in this race for the White House — Graham for McCain, and Kerry for Obama.

On C-SPAN, “Newsmakers” features a chat with Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who’ll face questions from Charles Babington of The Associated Press and Sarah Lueck of The Wall Street Journal.

Finally, on Bloomberg’s “Political Capital,” host Al Hunt interviews former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Richard Holbrooke.

With the $700 billion economic rescue plan finally signed into law, the Sunday shows set their sights on several key swing states in the red-hot presidential race.

CBS’s “Face the Nation” takes an inside look at Michigan, a key swing state that John McCain’s campaign announced last week it was abandoning because of Democrat Barack Obama’s strong showing there.

Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm sits for an interview as she talks up Obama’s chances.

Host Bob Schieffer also turns to the bailout, interviewing Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) and House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who played a key roll in building GOP support for it.

New York Times columnist David Brooks rounds out the CBS lineup.

ABC’s “This Week” focuses on four other swing states, interviewing key players from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Florida and Ohio.

Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a Republican, lead off, discussing their side’s respective chances in November.

Could McCain really pull off an upset in the Keystone State?

Host George Stephanopoulos also interviews a pair of swing-state senators — Republican Mel Martinez of Florida and Democrat Sherrod Brown of Ohio. And he leads a political roundtable with Time magazine's Karen Tumulty, The Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib, The Nation's Katrina vanden Heuvel and ABC’s George Will.

CNN’s “Late Edition” also spotlights the bailout with a debate between House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, a vocal supporter, and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who voted against it.

Host Wolf Blitzer also discusses the presidential race with McCain economic adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer.

Finally, Blitzer interviews journalist Bart Gellman, author of the new book "Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency."

Following a busy week in politics, NBC’s “Meet the Press” devotes its entire hour to a roundtable of analysts.

The show features Democratic strategist Paul Begala, Republican strategist Mike Murphy, columnist Peggy Noonan, PBS’s Gwen Ifill, The Des Moines Register’s David Yepsen and NBC’s David Gregory and Chuck Todd.

Will they be writing McCain’s obituary? Or do they think the Republican senator from Arizona has yet another comeback in him?

A pair of familiar faces headline “Fox News Sunday” — McCain supporter Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Obama backer Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who will square off yet again over the merits of their respective candidates.

Can McCaskill help deliver Missouri for Obama?

Former presidential adviser Karl Rove also offers his perspective on the bailout and the race for the White House.

C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” stays on the bailout and its effect on the housing market, featuring an interview with James Lockhart, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Finally, Bloomberg’s "Political Capital” interviews Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairwoman Sheila Bair, a key behind-the-scenes player in the struggle to right the nation’s economy.

Sunday talk shows look at electoral map

Update: Just in case you missed last Sunday's talk shows!

By JEN DIMASCIO

Quote:

A month before the election, attention this Sunday turned to the presidential electoral map, where Democrat Barack Obama has opened up a wide lead over Republican John McCain in the last two weeks.

A month before the election, attention this Sunday turned to the presidential electoral map, where Democrat Barack Obama has opened up a wide lead over Republican John McCain in the last two weeks.

On "Fox News Sunday," President Bush's former top political adviser, Karl Rove, said he now projects Obama would win 273 electoral votes–enough to take the White House—and has a chance at 102 more. Just two weeks ago, Rove had the two campaigns virtually tied.

Rove attributed McCain’s downward trend in key states such as Minnesota, New Hampshire and Michigan primarily to the financial crisis and, to a lesser extent, the candidate’s reaction to it. The race is also tightening, he said, in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.

“What we may be seeing is people reacting to McCain suspending his campaign, which they may have seen as a political gesture, and coming back and not getting something done initially,” said Rove, who added that the polls lag behind the news and probably didn’t take into account Thursday’s vice-presidential debate.

Rove’s two bits of advice for McCain: “You have to talk about character, values and views of Obama in a way that people consider to be fair and relevant. And second of all, the McCain-Palin ticket needs to give voters a positive agenda so that people who are concerned about Obama’s qualifications have something to hang their hat on.”

Already, though, host Bob Schieffer noted on CBS’s "Face the Nation," Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has gone negative on the stump by pointing to Obama's association with William Ayers, who was a founder of the radical Weather Underground.

“Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country.” Palin said yesterday.

Schieffer asked Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.), whether that was an attack on Obama’s patriotism.

“Well, he has talked down about America,” Wilson said, adding that despite a history of saying “politics ends at the water’s edge,” it didn’t for Obama, who criticized American policies while speaking in Europe.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), called attempts to tie Obama to Ayers, who was in the Weather Underground when Obama was eight, “a stretch.” But looking at the issue more broadly, she said she hoped a month of character attacks would not damage the credibility that Obama has built in talking about the issues.

Meanwhile, Republicans on the shows were trying to stop the bleeding, touting McCain’s late-night phone calls to Republicans lukewarm to the $700-billion financial bailout bill just passed by Congress and signed into law by Bush.

“I don’t think he was erratic at all,” said House Minority Whip Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), who led the Republicans on the bailout negotiations. “John McCain in, I thought, a very selfless and cool way began to talk to Republicans about why this had to be done during the week this week.”

“He was in contact with me every day about who he could call, who he could talk to. I think he came back and changed the discussion,” Blunt told Schieffer.

On ABC's "This Week," host George Stephanopolous turned to the upper Midwest, citing a Friday Minneapolis Star Tribune poll showing that Obama has opened up a gaping 55-37 percent edge there.

“Is Minnesota truly in play for Sen. McCain right now?” Stephanopolous asked.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) dismissed that poll and said that even though the Democrats currently have the edge in Minnesota, a maverick Republican such as McCain is just the kind who can make a difference in this last month.

Along those lines, Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) said Florida is still very much in play for McCain – particularly because he hasn’t advertised heavily on television yet, and that makes a huge difference in the Sunshine State.

“McCain has an awful lot of things going for him in the state of Florida,” Martinez said, pointing to older voters, Jewish mistrust of Obama’s foreign policy and the Cuban community’s reaction to Obama’s willingness to negotiate with “the Castro brothers.”

Although Palin didn't dominate the discussion as she has since her entrée to the national stage, she did get a mention.

Asked by Schieffer whether there is a double standard for Alaska governor because she is a woman, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D), replied that Palin “had a different strategy, and her strategy was to be folksy and to try to speak over the moderator and over the questions that were asked."

"But the reality is, I really believe, honestly, in Michigan we are hurtin’ so bad we don’t want to hear just you know by golly, aw shucks, dogonnit. We want to hear what are you gonna to do to help everyday citizens.” Granholm said. “At this point, people are tired of style.”

Thanks. Your posts are always informative, and although this thread gets few replies, I suspect it is widely read.

We all live busy lives and I know I just don't have the time to view all these political shows. Yet..they are interesting and informative and it forces the reader to seperate the wheat from the chaff and wade through some media spin..

Following another rocky week on Wall Street, the economy and its effect on the presidential race is the focus of this Sunday’s talk shows.

ABC’s “This Week” leads the way with two congressional figures key to passing the bailout bill: House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.).

Expect a lively discussion between the two men, as many House Republicans have criticized Frank for not doing enough to regulate mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while Frank has accused the GOP of unfairly blaming poor people for the housing crisis.

Host George Stephanopoulos then breaks down another busy week in politics with New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, The Washington Post’s Dan Balz, and ABC’s George Will and Cokie Roberts.

NBC’s “Meet the Press” leads with an in-depth look at the economy, featuring Obama backer and New Jersey Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine and McCain supporter and former Rep. Rob Portman (R-Ohio).

Will they predict more doom and gloom? Or is the Dow poised for a rebound?

Moderator Tom Brokaw then leads a roundtable discussion on the economy with CNBC’s Erin Burnett, The Wall Street Journal’s Paul Gigot and journalist Ted Koppel.

“Fox News Sunday” offers an inside look at two other critical battleground states, featuring interviews with Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota.

Then host Chris Wallace moderates a debate between Obama adviser David Axelrod and McCain campaign manager Rick Davis.

CBS’s “Face the Nation” also looks at some key swing states, featuring top surrogates from Virginia, Colorado and Florida.

Host Bob Schieffer interviews Colorado Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter, former Virginia Democratic Gov. Douglas Wilder and Florida Republican Rep. Adam Putnam.

McCain confidant Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) rounds out the CBS lineup.

The economy also takes center stage on CNN’s “Late Edition,” which features an interview with former presidential candidate and current McCain supporter Steve Forbes.

Former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich offers the Democratic perspective on another tumultuous week on Wall Street.

Host Wolf Blitzer then interviews a pair of senators, as New York Democrat Charles Schumer and Pennsylvania Republican Arlen Specter offer their perspectives.

Then, Blitzer chats with Obama supporter Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fla.) and McCain backer Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.).

Finally, Bloomberg’s “Political Capital” features an interview with Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).

Mac is back this Sunday, sitting for an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

Still, John McCain may not be the biggest newsmaker on this Sunday’s shows, what with former Secretary of State Colin Powell appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” for what could be a blockbuster interview.

As soon as “Meet” announced its lineup, there was a frenzy of will-he-or-won’t-he speculation over whether the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who was secretary of state in the first term of this Bush administration will endorse Democrat Barack Obama over Republican McCain in the critical last days of the presidential campaign.

Or will he continue to hold his cards close?

After Powell, host Tom Brokaw leads a discussion on the presidential race with New York Times columnist David Brooks, Newsweek editor Jon Meacham, MSNBC host and former Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.) and NBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd.

On CBS, “Face the Nation” features interviews with politicos from four swing states: Virginia Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.); and Republican Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt and former Rep. Rob Portman (R-Ohio).

Afterward, The Washington Post’s Dan Balz offers his take on the race as it enters the home stretch toward the Nov. 4 election.

On CNN, “Late Edition” takes an in-depth look at the key battleground state of Missouri, interviewing Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and House Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).

And former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who lost his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, spins the race as a top McCain surrogate.

Does he believe Mac can come back again?

Obama confidante Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) also sits for an interview on CNN. And host Wolf Blitzer closes out the lineup with a look at the nation’s troubled economy, incluidng an interview with Ed Lazear, chairman of the White House Council on Economic Advisers.

ABC’s “This Week” goes the roundtable route this Sunday, devoting its entire hour to surveying the presidential race.

Host George Stephanopoulos dissects the race with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, pundit David Gergen and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile and ABC's George Will.

C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” also focuses on the economy with Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama, the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, who’ll be interviewed by Sudeep Reddy of The Wall Street Journal and Steven Dennis of Roll Call.

Finally, Bloomberg’s “Political Capital” host Al Hunt interviews Christopher Buckley, who shook up conservative circles last week with his endorsement of Obama.
