EXPECT the most fireworks on NBC’s “Meet the Press” when Democrat John Kerry goes mano-a-mano with apostate Democrat turned independent Joe Lieberman who backs John McCain. Moderator Tom Brokaw will need to separate them.

Kerry, backing Barack Obama, narrowly lost the presidency in 2004; Lieberman was inexplicably on Al Gore’s ticket in 2000 when the Supreme Court elected Bush.

ABC’s “This Week” leads with an exclusive interview with Speaker Nancy Pelosi by George Stephanopoulos. What will Tom Ridge say about potentially being on McCain’s list of running mates?

CBS’ “Face the Nation” features an economic debate between Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, supporting Obama, facing off against fired Hewlett CEO Carly Fiorina, a key McCain surrogate. Bet big on Rubin.
