NBC "Meet The Press" - David Gregory will interview Vice President Joe Biden. Biden just completed a "Road to Recovery" Tour where he attending groundbreaking ceremonies of various road improvement projects in different states paid for under the Stimulus Bill. Biden was also put in charge by President Obama to ensure the money was being spent appropriately.

The roundtable discussion will include mike Murphy and Joe Scarborough.

ABC "This Week" - George Stephanopoulos interviews Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Expect Sebelius to be grilled on the Democratic health care proposals which are circulating on capitol hill and also the H1N1 Flu being classified a pandemic by the World Health Organization. As a Republican, Romney is sure to be asked about the Stimulus Bill and it's effect on the economy as well as the increased budget deficit under Obama's first budget.

The roundtable discussion will include Donna Brazile, George Will, Kimberly Strassel, and Ron Brownstein.

CBS "Face The Nation" - Bob Schieffer will interview Senators Mitch McConnell (R-KY.) and Richard Durbin (D-Ill.). Expect more back and forth on the Stimulus Bill and health care. McConnell will surely complain about what he perceives to be a fast track for the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.

Fox News Sunday - Chris Wallace will interview Senators Chris Dodd (D-Con.) and Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). Grassley has been most vocal against the July 13 date being set for the Sotomayor confirmation hearings to begin. Dodd is who presented the Kennedy health care plan earlier in the week due to the chemotherapy treatments being received by Senator Kennedy. U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue will also be a guest. Expect the recent actions by the Obama administration in regard to Chrysler and GM to be discussed.

The roundtable discussion will include Britt Hume, Mara Liasson, Bill Kristol, and Juan Williams.

CNN "State of The Union" - HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also appears with John King. Also interviewed by King will be Senators Ben nelson (D.Neb.), Kent Conrad (D-ND), Susan Collins (R-Maine). Husband and wife political analysts James Carville (D) and Mary Matalin (R) also share their thoughts.

CNN "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - while this is not a morning talk show - it airs at 1:00 PM ET, it is very good. Today, he will be discussing the election in Iran which has very important international implications. I would suggest tuning in.
