Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate.

Somewhat low key cast on the shows today. A lot of Senators, eight altogether, including Lindsey Graham who accompanied McCain on the taxpayer funded campaign junket to the Middle East.

Again this week, Russert doesn't have any real guests, just panel of journalists -- and Chuck Todd who does know what he's talking about and usually does it objectively.

The full line up is after the break.

If you're watching, provide the commentary -- our readers do better analysis than the Russert's gaggle:

ABC's "This Week" — Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Chuck Hagel, R-Neb.

___

CBS' "Face the Nation" — Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Jack Reed, D-R.I.

___

NBC's "Meet the Press" — Journalists round table.

___

CNN's "Late Edition" — Sens. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Evan Bayh, D-Ind.; Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie; Gov. Janet Napolitano, D-Ariz.; Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform; Laura Tyson, former economic adviser to President Clinton.

"Fox News Sunday" _ Govs. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., and Ed Rendell, D-Pa.; former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers; Glenn Hubbard, former chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers; Eli Manning, New York Giants quarterback and member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
