Previewing the Sunday Shows
By Christopher Peleo-Lazar // September 7, 2012 | 4:30 p.m.
With both party conventions in the rear-view mirror, this weekend's shows will look forward to the final two months of the campaign.
For the first time since 2009, Mitt Romney will appear on Meet the Press. His running mate, Paul Ryan, will be on Face the Nation and This Week .
On Fox News Sunday, Romney economic adviser Glenn Hubbard and former Obama economic aide Austan Goolsbee will talk about the economic proposals from the respective campaigns.
On State of the Union, California Gov. Jerry Brown will break down the Democratic convention, while Newt Gingrich will offer analysis from the GOP's perspective.
Fresh off his well-received keynote address, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro will join the political round table on Meet the Press. Another Democratic Convention speaker, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, will participate in the round table discussion on This Week.
Christine O'Donnell, the controversial Republican nominee in the 2010 Delaware Senate race, will appear on HBO's Real Time. During a 1999 appearance on host Bill Maher's former show on ABC, Politically Incorrect, O'Donnell revealed that she had "dabbled into witchcraft." The comment resurfaced during the 2010 campaign, prompting O'Donnell to release her infamous "I'm Not A Witch" ad.
