There was a time, my friends, when the final talk shows of the year were wrap-ups and predictions, and I would do something else. This year, however, we have scads of Presidential hopefuls seeking time on the air.

That Wallace is hosting Thompson (FNS) means either we should expect something big from him on Tuesday or it might be a gesture of some sort. Russert takes Huckabee and Obama because they’re poised to upset the erstwhile “front runners.” Steph’s guest on TW, Hillary and McCain, are the two probably most looking forward to New Hampshire.

Blitzer’s primarily concerned with international stuff, so his Presidential wannabe guest, Biden, is the chairman of Senate foreign relations. As for FTN, Schieffer took the only “major candidate,” aside from Romney, remaining.
