LAS VEGAS -- Not sure what today’s results from the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina Republican primary mean? Well, that’s why they make the Sunday morning shows (and no, there is not a movement in Congress to rename it ‘Spinday’).
On CBS’ ‘Face The Nation,’ you get John Edwards and, in a lovely moment of irony, David Axelrod, who was one of Edwards top advisors four years ago but is working for Barack Obama this time around, along with Politico’s Roger Simon to keep them honest.
‘Fox News Sunday’ has Mitt Romney, and ‘ABC This Week’ has Rudy Giuliani. ‘CNN Late Edition’ has what might be the most interesting panel of the day with South Carolina Democratic Rep. James Clyburn and Michigan Democratic Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, who will probably be looking ahead to next week’s South Carolina Democratic primary on the heels of the Nevada caucuses today and the party’s Michigan non-primary last week. And Clyburn is part of a double-header -- he’s also on C-SPAN’S ‘Newsmakers’ show at 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. Pacific time.
