Well, it looks like the R vs. D balance is slightly more in order this week. John Edwards gets to double dip appearances on Face the Nation and Late Edition;, more power to him since the media has been doing such a good job of ignoring him up until now. I'm sure that Rudy "2% in South Carolina" Giuliani will be trying to convince one and all that despite 9/11, his campaign is going exactly the way he planned it, 9/11. And normally I love Doris Kearns Goodwin (her book Team of Rivals on Abraham Lincoln is fantastic), but I fear that Timmeh will have her on only to tell us, the lowly electorate, that no one has won the South Carolina primary and not gotten the party nomination, priming us for the inevitable Democrat vs. McCain battle.

What's catching your eye this morning?

ABC's "This Week" - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y.

"The Chris Matthews Show" - with panel Rick Stengel, Kathleen Parker, Cynthia Tucker and Howard Fineman. Topics: If Hillary wins, what will Bill's role be in the White House? Can any Republican win if the economy enters a recession?
