The Sunday Shows answers at least one question: Where the heck is Mike Pence?

And of course it's 'meet the conservatives' on Face the Nation in which you have to have Mike Pence AND Newt Gingrich so you get BOTH SIDES.

But to wipe that 'both sides' taste from your mouth, Rep. John Lewis will be on Meet the Press. NBC again getting the gets with that one. OH NEVERMIND the panel is Rich Lowry of National Review and Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute. BOTH SIDES! Newt and Pence eat your heart out!
