Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" Cheat Sheet

George Wenschhof

With the Democratic National Convention set to begin this week in Charlotte, North Carolina, it is the Democrats turn to dominate the Sunday morning political talk shows.

You can count on harsh critiques of the just concluded GOP convention, especially the bizarre convoluted speech given by Clint Eastwood.

Also, sure to be mentioned is the report out by Nielsen, which shows the viewers watching the Republican convention's last day when Mitt Romney spoke, was 22% less than in 2008, when Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) spoke.

Monday, will show the results from three full day polls, following the Republican convention, which will indicate what level of bounce Mitt Romney received from the GOP convention.

While the Republican speakers at their convention focused on bashing the Obama administration and their policies, Republicans, including Mitt Romney, failed to offer any concrete proposals of their own. 

Democrats plan to fill the 73,778 capacity Bank of America stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, on the convention's final night when President Obama speaks.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Democratic Concention charman, will appear on four of the morning talk shows, including Fox News Sunday.

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, who is also chair of the Democratic Governors Association, will appear on CNN "State of the Nation" and CBS "Face The Nation".

Former Democratic Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson and Obama's first chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, who is now mayor of Chicago will also be among the many featured Democrats this Sunday morning.
