Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" Lineup

George Wenschhof

From this point on, the Sunday morning "Talking Heads" will be all about the November elections.

Romney campaign senior adviser Ed Gilespie appears on NBC "Meet The Press" and CNN "State of The Union".  Expect him to be asked the many unanswered questions concerning when Mitt Romney left Bain Capitol and why he is not releasing more tax returns.  Obama Senior campaign adviser David Axelrod will face off with Gillespie on CNN "State of The Union".

The rumors will also fly on who Romney will pick for his VP.  Two, who are in the running for VP, will have appearances, with Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) on ABC "THis Week" and Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on CBS "Face The Nation".  Don't look to see either selected by Romney.

Former White House Chief of Staff and Mayor of Chicago Rahm Emanuel will be on ABC "This Week".  A question about the health of Illinois Democratic Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., who has been absent from the Hill, will surely be asked.

The discussion will surely heat up during the roundtable discussion on NBC "Meet The Press", where Grover Norquist, a man democrats love to hate, is sure to hammer President Obama on his proposed extension of tax cuts for those making $250,000 or less.  NAACP President ben Jealous will also appear.

The entertaining duo; James Carville and Mary Matalin will be on the ABC "This Week" roundtable discussion and will be worth a listen.

Another man Democrats love to hate; Republican strategist Karl Rove will be on Republican friendly "Fox News Sunday".  To counteract Rove, Democratic consultant Joe Trippi, of Hoaward Dean presidential campaign fame, will also appear on "Fox News Sunday".

First Lady Michelle Obama, while campaigning in Florida, sat down for an interview which will appear on Univision's "Al Punto".

It appears the morning shows will be light on discussion surrounding foreign policy, even as violence continues in Syria.

The scheduled guests follow below.

NBC "meet The Press" - Ed Gillespie, Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Jon Kyl (R-Az.)

Roundtable with Mike Murphy, Grover Norquist, Ben Jealous, Hilary Rosen and Bob Woodward.
