The Plus Side
There are many people out there, myself included, who have argued that it’s time for this primary race to be over. We’re going to need more than the two and a half months between the convention and the election to reunify the Democratic Party–and yeah, I don’t doubt that Hillary Clinton will fight her way to Denver. On the other hand, there is some good news:
Guest lineup for the Sunday TV news shows:
ABC’s “This Week” — Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.); former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.); Reps. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) and Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas).
CBS’ “Face the Nation” — David Axelrod, campaign advisor for Barack Obama; Howard Wolfson, campaign advisor for Hillary Clinton; Roger Mudd, author of a book on CBS News.
NBC’s “Meet the Press” — Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. Panel discussion.
CNN’s “Late Edition” — Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.); Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.); Steve Coll, author of a book on the Bin Laden family; James Rubin, a Clinton campaign advisor; Susan Rice, an Obama campaign advisor.
“Fox News Sunday” — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
Democrats are dominating the news cycle. With the exception of Hoekstra, every person on every single talk show today was a Democrat. Nobody doesn’t like free media.
By the way, here’s a pretty good liveblog of Obama on Fox.
