The Sunday before the Iowa Caucuses Talk Shows Open Thread

It's a presidential candidates bonanza on the talk shows this weekend. You get Clinton, McCain, Edwards, Huckabee, Obama, Dodd, Biden and Thompson (twice, that's the most work he's done so far). Don't be too disappointed, but there are no Mitt and no Rudy sightings on any of the shows today. News will be made. The question is how ugly it gets on either side. So far, the GOPers are really the vicious ones, which is so much more fun.

Then, to top off the day, CNN's Late Edition has five Republicans [the failed presidential canidate Steve Forbes; one current Senator: Lindsey Graham (SC); three former Senators: William Cohen (ME), Tim Hutchinson (AR) and Jim Talent (MO);] and just one Democrat, a very conservative one, of course: former Georgis Senator Sam Nunn. What's that all about, Wolf? We're sure to get a balanced perspective on the world from that crew. It's so Fox News.

The full lineup is after the break.
