Weekend Watchdog

It's been a nail-biter of a week, as the nation's attention rocketed between the bailout wranglings on the Hill (Will there or won't there be a bailout package? There is.) and the vice presidential debate (How will the candidates do? Both survived.). But the real question is: Who will be on the Sunday shows, and what questions will the watchdog ask?

For Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm (CBS, Face the Nation): A lot of the economic news this week impacts your state. The most recent news is that 1 in 5 car dealerships may fail in 2009. That's got to mean that fewer people in your state will have jobs at some point. Meanwhile, the auto industry is set to get a $25 billion loan.

While we're bailing out Wall Street and the auto idustry, are workers in Michigan getting left out of the equation? With the McCain campaign leaving Michigan, what message are conservatives sending to workers like the ones in your state?

For Paul Begala (NBC, Meet the Press):

With the bailout vote behind us — to the tune of $700 million taxpayer dollars — we're now facing the worst jobs report in 5 years. Given the considerable anger over the bailout, and the news that most Americans say they've been harmed by the financial crisis, what will it take to satisfy Americans beyond the bailout?

For Karl Rove (Fox, Fox News Sunday):

All week long, people have blamed regulation and de-regulation for the current economic crisis. What do you make of the New York Times report which blames a 2004 rule change — initiated by the Goldman Sachs head Henry Paulson — that allowed banks to pile up the debts and risks taxpayers are now responsible for?
