Sunday Talk Shows

Meet The Press -Rick Santorum

Governor's Debate Economy, 2012

We’ll talk with two of the country's leading governors about the outlook of the campaign and how the economy will factor into the general election. Joining us: Chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-MD) and Chairman of the Republican Governors association as well as Mitt Romney supporter, Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA).

Super Tuesday delivered a split decision signaling the GOP race may be a long haul. As Mitt Romney struggles to seal the deal in key states, Rick Santorum is fighting to be the only alternative. Our roundtable breaks down the race: MSNBC’s Al Sharpton, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Washington Post’s EJ Dionne, and the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan

ABC This Week

Sen. Charles Schumer and Sen. Lindsey Graham

** NOTE: Be sure to set your clocks forward this weekend for Daylight Saving Time and set your DVR so you don't miss Sunday's "This Week" broadcast. **

New jobs numbers show momentum building for the economy, with more than 200,000 jobs created for the third straight month. But is the jobs growth enough, or will surging gas prices derail the recovery? And will drumbeats of war with Iran and Syria's bloody crackdown create an election-year headache for the Obama administration?

Sen. Charles Schumer and Sen. Lindsey Graham debate those topics, plus the latest presidential election politics, only on "This Week."

Then, GOP candidate Mitt Romney takes a commanding lead in delegates after Super Tuesday, but fails to land a knockout blow. As the GOP race heads south next week, can Rick Santorum pull off wins in Alabama and Mississippi to make it a two-man race? Will Republicans unite and rally around Romney or will the fight for the nomination go all the way to the convention?

Our powerhouse roundtable with senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper, former Obama economic adviser and ABC News consultant Austan Goolsbee, Republican strategist Mary Matalin, former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, and Nicolle Wallace, Republican strategist and senior adviser to the McCain-Palin 2008 campaign, debates all the week's politics, including the HBO film "Game Change" and its controversial portrayal of Sarah Palin.
