Sunday morning: Govs Deval Patrick and John Hickenlooper on ABC, Lawrence O'Donnell on NBC
Guests and subjects on tomorrow morning's news talk shows:

This Week (ABC): Christiane Amanpour reports live from Libya and interviews Saif al-Islam (son of Muammar al-Gaddafi); in Washington, Jake Tapper hosts a roundtable about state budget crises with four state governors: Democrats Deval Patrick (MA) and John Hickenlooper (CO) and Republicans Jan Brewer (AZ) and Nikki Haley (SC).

Face the Nation (CBS): Exclusive interview with Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ)

Meet the Press (NBC): Exclusive interview with Governor Scott Walker (R-WI), also Senator John McCain (R-AZ) speaks from Cairo and will discuss the Middle East anti-government unrest. The roundtable covers a wide political spectrum: Governor Haley Barbour (R-MS), Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO, Chairman of Cong. Black Caucus), Lawrence O'Donnell (host of MSNBC's The Last Word), Richard Trumka (president of AFL-CIO), and Kim Strassel (columnist and editorial board member of The Wall Street Journal).

Interestingly, NBC's roundtable has a 3-2 liberal advantage while having two Republican and zero Democratic interviewed newsmaker guests. Also, I've seen Trumka on Bill Moyers Journal before (on the Jan. 29, 2010 episode). NBC's choice to have him on the roundtable is a rare opportunity to see a labor voice on Sunday morning: a 2001 study "What's Not Talked About on Sunday Morning?" found that two AFL-CIO presidential candidates were the ONLY labor guests on several Sunday morning shows reviewed from 1995, 1996, and 1999.

Fox News Sunday (Fox/Fox News): Governor Mitch Daniels (R-IN) and former Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR); both are considering running for president in 2012.

State of the Union (CNN): Senators Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and John McCain (R-AZ) on the Middle East unrest; Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) on the federal budget debate; Governors Rick Scott (R-FL) and Dan Malloy (D-CT) on state budgets; Mark Zandi (Moody's Analytics) and Douglas Holtz-Eakin (former Cong. Budget Office director under GWB) on oil prices.

Fareed Zakaria GPS (CNN): Paul Wolfowitz (American Enterprise Institute scholar and former former United States Ambassador to Indonesia under Reagan, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense under GWB, and President of the World Bank) on Libya and how he thinks both Bush and Obama hurt the country. Zakaria also provides his own commentary on the events in the Arab world. Also: Michael Lewis (best-selling author and Vanity Fair contributing editor) on the financial crisis.

Newsmakers (C-SPAN): GREAT SCOTT, IT'S RICK SCOTT!!!!!

Apparently, Washington Watch on TV One (hosted by CNN's Roland Martin) is yet providing an alternative to the same old political news again: last week, it focused on Black History Month, today it's covering basketball with guests including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Dwayne Wade.
