Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" Cheat Sheet

George Wenschhof

The discussion this Sunday morning should be varied, ranging from the Mitt Romney gaffe in Britain to Supreme Court decisions.   Mitt Romney will also have been in Israel for a day, so he has time to make more verbal blunders before Sunday morning.  Romney will deliver a speech in Jerusalem on Sunday at noon ET, which will be covered live by CNN.

Romney needs the Jewish vote, especially in the pivotal swing state of Florida.  Galup just released a poll which shows President Obama has gained support among Jewish registered voters and now leads Romney 68% - 25%.

Former justice Sandra Day O'Connor appears on CBS "Face The Nation and justice Antonin Scalia on Fox News Sunday. Maybe Scalia can explain the reasoning behind the "Citizens United" decision which allowed for unlimted campaign spending by corporations and unions.  Look to see gun-control also discussed.

The presidential campaign will get attention when senior Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs squares off with Kevin Madden, a Romney campaign adviser on ABC "This Week".

Who Romney will pick to be his running mate is likely to receive attention when Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), one who has been rumored as one the possibles, appears with Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on CNN "State of the Union".

The continued violence in Syria should receive attention, but it appears the networks will be light on covering this subject Sunday morning.
