This Sunday: Durbin and Kyl

by David Gregory

Fresh off the Thanksgiving holiday, I'll be joined this Sunday by the assistant majority and minority leaders in the Senate: Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (IL) and Republican Whip Jon Kyl (AZ). With foreign affairs in the spotlight lately, I'll ask my guests about the crisis in the Korean peninsula and the fate of President Obama's START treaty with Russia. Plus, as the holiday season is just beginning, tensions are high at home. Are TSA pat-down procedures too invasive? What does Congress hope to accomplish in this lame-duck session? And does the GOP's win on November 2nd signify a new era of bipartisanship in Washington, or an even more divided and polarized government?



Then, our political round table will weigh in. We'll discuss the economy, foreign affairs, and Congress's plan of attack for the upcoming year. Joining me will be the Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan, Washington Post's EJ Dionne, Republican strategist Ed Gillespie, and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter.
Also, check out below for some background on Sunday's show:
