So, the big question is what Colin Powell has to say. That'll be the news from the shows today -- not McCain appearing on FOX. That McCain still has to show up on FOX to win over Republicans says a lot about the state of his campaign. It's the t.v. equivalent of campaigning in red states like Virginia, Indiana and North Carolina.
Besides that lots of surrogates. Newt gets solo billing on "This Week." That will be painful. No doubt he'll be in rare form. (He's smarter than everyone, you know.)
Here's the lineup:
ABC's "This Week" — Newt Gingrich, former GOP speaker of the House.16 days.
___
CBS' "Face the Nation" — Virginia Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine; Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.; Missouri Republican Gov. Matt Blunt; former Rep. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.
___
NBC's "Meet the Press" — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
___
CNN's "Late Edition" — Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., House minority whip; former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala.; Ed Lazear, chairman, White House Council on Economic Advisers.
"Fox News Sunday" _ Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
