The Beatles - Hello Goodbye

The RBC meeting has effectively made us say hello to the general election and goodbye to the primary fight. But if you look at the line up for today's news shows, it doesn't appear that the media is quite ready to say goodbye. So while the rest of us should be saying "yes" to party unity, it looks like the media is saying "I don't know" to letting go.

ABC's "This Week" - Terry McAuliffe, campaign chairman for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

CBS' "Face the Nation" - Sen., Carl Levin, D-Mich., Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.; Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa.; Mandy Grunwald, Clinton campaign adviser.

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Scott McClellan, former White House press secretary; former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D.; Harold Ickes, Clinton campaign adviser.

CNN's "Late Edition" - Sens. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla.; Gov. Mark Sanford, R-S.C.; former Rep. David Bonior, D-Mich.; Ickes; Democratic strategists Jamal Simmons and Hilary Rosen; Republican strategist Leslie Sanchez.

"Fox News Sunday" - Howard Wolfson, Clinton campaign adviser; Bonior; Brendan Sullivan, director of the children's sports program Headfirst.
"The Chris Matthews Show" Panel: Kelly O'Donnell, Howard Fineman, Rick Stengel, Cynthia Tucker. Topics: Who will win the battle for independent voters -- Obama or McCain? Will Scott McClellan's book hurt McCain in the fall? Will McCain maintain his lead over Obama with independents through the fall?

What's catching your eye this morning?
