Last edited Sat Sep 1, 2012, 11:05 PM - Edit history (2)

David Axelrod, David Plouffe. Rahm Emanuel, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, Bill Burton, Bill Richardson, Stephanie Cutter, Robert Gibbs, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, Charlotte's mayor, Anthony Foxx

CBS Face the Nation
Key Dems Sunday on Face the Nation
Sunday, September 2, on "Face the Nation" from Charlotte, N.C. at the site of the Democratic National Convention, Bob Schieffer sits down with key voices for the Democrats, Gov. Martin O'Malley, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter.

Then, a roundtable with the Washington Post's Dan Balz, Bloomberg Television's Trish Regan, Georgetown University's Michael Eric Dyson and CBS News political director John Dickerson

Meet The Press
As a former chief of staff to President Obama and now as mayor of the city where the Obama team has located their high command, Rahm Emanuel has unique perspective on the Obama re-election effort and what we can expect from the Democratic National Convention. He’ll be our exclusive guest this Sunday.

Republicans wrap-up their week-long roll out for Mitt Romney while the Democrats prepare to make their case for another four years of President Obama. Has the GOP and Romney done anything to fundamentally change the race? And what are issues this election will break on? Our roundtable weighs in: former GOP presidential contender Newt Gingrich; former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and Vice Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee Carly Fiorina; presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin; NYTimes Tom Friedman, Tom Brokaw

ABC This Week
White House senior adviser David Plouffe, President Obama's top political adviser and the architect of his 2008 election victory, speaks with George Stephanopoulos on the 2012 presidential contest, Sunday on "This Week."

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney officially becomes the Republican presidential nominee, as the GOP wraps up its national convention in Tampa. As Democrats prepare to take the stage in Charlotte, N.C. for their convention next week, can President Obama convince voters that he deserves a second term? Or did Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan make the case for turning the page to a new team this fall?

White House senior adviser David Plouffe weighs in on the latest in the 2012 presidential election, Sunday on "This Week."

Then, the powerhouse roundtable debates the Republican and Democratic conventions, with ABC News' George Will; Priorities USA co-founder Bill Burton; Romney campaign senior adviser and former Massachusetts Lt. Governor Kerry Healey; Democratic strategist and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile; and political strategist and ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd.

Did Romney win over any undecided voters disappointed in President Obama's first term and the state of the economy? Was Romney able to show his personal side and make voters more comfortable with him as the potential president? Did any of this week's convention speakers, from Chris Christie to Clint Eastwood, undermine Romney's efforts? And what do President Obama and Democrats have to do at their convention to make an effective case for re-election?

Fox News Sunday
The DNC and the Obama campaign are gearing up for a potentially game changing week. We'll have an exclusive interview with Obama Campaign Senior Strategist, David Axelrod

We’re also joined by Obama Senior Campaign Adviser Robert Gibbs. He’ll push back against the Republican criticism that Obama’s policies have failed. We'll also get the Republican rebuttal from from Senior Romney Campaign Adviser Eric Fehrnstrom.

Then, CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Jessica Yellin and The Washington Post’s Dan Balz

A once-a-year happening when the entire depth and breadth of the Sunday talks shows aren't completely infested with rethugs. Never thought I'd see the day and probably won't for a long long time.

Thanks for posting!
