Up with Chris Hayes--Feb 25, 2012 (h/t Heather at VideoCafe)

Amazing! Mitt Romney is breaking his self-imposed hiatus from the Sunday news shows. None too soon, either, as it's looking more and more likely that the presumptive Republican nominee is sinking fast and can't even win his own damn home state. Pass the popcorn, because even though he's consented to appear at the friendliest outlet for him, Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace has been surprisingly tough on the GOP candidates and I expect him to continue to be so. Because it's Sunday, John McCain and his BFF Lindsey Graham are scheduled to be on State of the Union to discuss the Middle East. Heather and I agree that Bob Herbert had the best question in the video above: How do you intend to pay for your war mongering? Meanwhile, the National Governors Association has their annual meeting in DC this week and the shows had their pick of governors to talk to. Quite telling which ones the shows booked. David Gregory gets the extremes with Jerry Brown of California and Jan Brewer of Arizona. Bob Schieffer took the extremes of Martin O'Malley of Maryland and Chris Christie of New Jersey. And Candy Crowley picked John Hickenlooper of Colorado and Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Anyone want to take bets on which side of the aisle will monopolize the airtime?
