All politics. That includes the Saddam verdict, the timing of which makes it another political stunt by the Bush team.
The Meet the Press match-up between the heads of the House and Senate campaign committees isn't really a fair fight. The Dems. are ruthless while the Republicans are hapless:
ABC's "This Week" -- Vice President Dick Cheney; Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean.If Boehner was on a real network instead of GOP TV, he'd have to explain why he dissed the soldiers in Iraq last week -- choosing to support Rumsfeld over them.
CBS' "Face the Nation" -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn.; Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del.
NBC's "Meet the Press" -- Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., chairwoman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee; Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee; Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., chairman of the House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee; and Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
CNN's "Late Edition" -- White House press secretary Tony Snow; Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.; Iraqi deputy prime minister Barham Salih; Reps. Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., and Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; House Majority Whip Roy Blunt, R-Mo.; former Sen. Max Cleland, D-Ga.
"Fox News Sunday" -- House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio; Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill; Maryland Republican Senate candidate Michael Steele.
