Just a "heads up" from the Washington Post:

THIS WEEK (ABC, WJLA), 10 a.m.: Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D), Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D), Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) and former congressman Tom DeLay (R-Tex.).

Interesting that Davis and DeLay are paired on the show, given stuff like this.

UPDATE: Kaine said we will see a unified Democratic Party in November.  O'Malley says superdelegates are "part of the mix" and claims that Clinton "won" Florida and Michigan (despite those states being sanctioned for violation of DNC rules) and that this "needs to be resolved."  Kaine said the superdelegates will follow the will of the people, MI and FL broke NDC rules so there needs to be an additional process to fairly come up with a way to apportion delegates from those states.

UPDATE #2: Tom DeLay said that there are a lot of doubts about McCain on immigration (#1 issue), the second amendment, supply-side economics, etc.  According to DeLay, McCain needs to "act like the leader" of the party.  DeLay also said that the "left" has a "massive political coalition" and that "we have nothing like that."  DeLay said "we have to rebuild the party," that Democrats will be united but not sure about the "dispirited" GOP that is "trying to rebuild itself."  

Davis emphasized McCain's appeal to independent voters and that "we can't win with just Republican votes" because the "party is in the doldrums."  Davis asserted that McCain is a "fiscal hawk" who was firm on Iraq.
