Previewing The Sunday Shows
Only 5 more Sundays until the midterms and the weekend political roundtables are beginning to zero in on the major players and races of the '10 cycle.
"Fox News Sunday" will host a Kentucky Senate debate with candidates Rand Paul (R) and Jack Conway (D), live from Louisville. CNN's "State of the Union" speaks with NRSC Chair John Cornyn (TX) and DSCC Chair Robert Menendez (NJ) while over on CBS, Bob Schieffer will host Democratic Govs. Bill Richardson (NM) and Ed Rendell (PA). However, ABC's "This Week" steps away from the midterm buzz to host a debate on "Holy War: Should Americans Fear Islam?"
