An eclectic array of guests on the Sunday shows today -- but most of them are Republicans. Yes, because it's not news that we're in a financial crisis or just elected a new President. No, the pundits are agog because the GOP needs a new leader. And, there is some jockeying among Republicans to be the next leader and voice of the party. That means Newt is getting face time. He wants to be the "new" voice for the GOP. But, he's got competition from Michael Steele, Bobby Jindal and, of course, Sarah Palin. But, unlike those other three, Palin isn't doing a Sunday show today. She's about the only prominent Republican who isn't on today.
