John McCain and Joe Biden have been hanging out of these shows for the past decade or longer, and McCain might need to at least finish a close second on Tuesday (in Florida) to keep the money coming in order to compete a week later. That could be what's on Russert's mind.
The Hank Paulson bit is to be expected, as he's pushing for the White House, with Nancy along for the happy ride, a stimulus package which will not simulate an economy not in recession. It's an election year, and the press eats this stuff up.
Barry will be there (TW), as will Hillary (FTN). Don't know what happened to Edwards, who looks to finish third in the SC Dem primary tomorrow. At least Schieff has some room for Rudy on FTN, when Hizzoner just might finish third in Florida depending on whether or not he has the early votes he's promised for weeks. Romney gets the week off, finally.
Remember when Iraq was going to be the big issue of this election cycle, used to beat the Republicans further into the ground? That didn't work out for the Dems and the media, but at least Wolf's going for an update from the general in charge.
I'll be here tomorrow with the report. |
