Health care, energy, Iran and the fate of embattled South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford will give top advisers and party leaders plenty to weigh in on this Sunday.
White House senior adviser David Axelrod appears on NBC's "Meet the Press" to discuss the president's agenda with host David Gregory. From the other side of the aisle will be former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
Axelrod also stops by ABC's "This Week," along with Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a major player in the health care debate from his perch as ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee.
Meanwhile, Haley Barbour (R-Miss.) gives CBS "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer his first Sunday interview since succeeding Gov. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) as chairman of the Republican Governors Association last week. Also, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice will sit down to provide her perspective on Iran, Iraq, North Korea and Afghanistan.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) debate health care reform on "Fox News Sunday." And top commander in Iraq General Ray Odierno will give an assessment as U.S. troops prepare to withdraw from major cities.
Odierno also talks to John King on CNN's "State of the Union," along with Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) and BP Capital CEO T. Boone Pickens.
Sebelius will talk with Bloomberg's Al Hunt on "Political Capital" along with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger.
Finally, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) will be on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" to take questions from the Washington Examiner's Susan Ferrechio and McClatchy's David Lightman.
