The Democratic National Convention gets to breathe its last.

On NBC’s Meet the Press, host Tim Russert will talk to Senators Zell Miller (D-Georgia) and Joe Biden (D-Delaware). This show could be worth watching just to hear Miller speak of his take on the convention.

On FOX News Sunday gets John Edwards and John Kerry. Now, MTP has a much larger audience, but FOX probably has a more Republican audience. It appears Edwards and Kerry want to sell themselves to disgruntled Republicans. But those are not the ones who would choose FOX over NBC.

For good measure, they’re throwing in Newton Gingrich and Bush/Cheney strategist Matthew Dowd. “Fair and balanced.”

On CBS’s Face the Nation, host Bob Schieffer talks to… Edwards and Kerry.

On ABC’s This Week, host George Stephanopoulos talks to Kerry. (Does Edwards have a way-early bedtime?) Then Matalin and Brazile will argue for a while.

On CNN’s Late Edition, host Wolfgang Blitzer talks to… Kerry and Edwards. Then Senate Major Whip Mitch McConnell and “that old Senator,” Bob Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia. And Howard Dean, Al Sharpton, and RNC Chairamn Marc Racicot.

I’ll watch them, review and analyze them, and send it out as Sunday’s Rightsided Newsletter. I’m in my sixth year with that, and you can subscribe for free by visiting the web site at http://rightsided.tripod.com/, or by sending a blank e-mail to rsn-subscribe [AT] topica.com.

They’re doing mostly DNC and 9-11 Commission stuff tomorrow morning. I will watch the shows, review and analyze them, and send the work out to thousands of global subscribers as Sunday’s Rightsided Newsletter.

On NBC’s Meet the Press, Tim Russert will talk to Kean and Hamilton.

On FOX News Sunday, host Chris Wallace talks to Bill Richardson (see below), Theresa Heinz’s son Chris, and Governor Ed Rendell (R-Pennsylvania).

On CBS’s Face the Nation, host Bob Schieffer will talk to the Democrat candidate to the U.S. Senate from Illinois, Barack Obama. He currently has no GOP challenger, and it looks like the professor will walk to Washington with his standard brand of American leftism. Schieffer then talks to two media darlings, beloved as rising stars in the Democratic Party: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Michigan’s Canadian-American Governor Jennifer Granholm.

On ABC’s This Week, host George Stephanopoulos, better known to the world as simply “Steph,” will talk to Teddy Kennedy and John Edwards. (It is said that Teddy once reacted to hearing Edwards compared to his brother Bobby by comparing the young Senator to his brother John.) And Steph will talk to Bob Kerrey and John Lehman of the 9-11 Commission.

On CNN’s Late Edition, Wolf Blitzer will speak to, among others, Kean, Hamilton, Theresa Heinz’s Chris, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kansas), Senator Carl Levin (D-Michigan), RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie, George McGovern, and some guy from Al Jazeera.

I want to know what Chris Heinz is doing. The listings call him “John Kerry’s step son,” but he’s not. His father was the late Senator John Heinz (R-Pennsylvania), and like Michael Reagan, he’s betraying his father’s legacy.
