Super Tuesday's Morning Shows

Clinton, Obama did all six morning shows, with Romney right behind them with five:

"Fox & Friends": Romney criticized Dole's letter to Limbaugh defending McCain.

Clinton discussed differences between her, Obama, making case why she can go up against McCain, and used her pants suit line again, while Obama talked mostly issues.

Giuliani talked up McCain, Huckabee appears on network later.

------------------------------------------------------------------

MSNBC's "Morning Joe": Early-riser Clinton talked about tearing up Monday, touted experience as the main difference with Obama, while Obama lowered expectations, said he's "very calm" about Super Tuesday (though invoked NH lesson saying "don't count your chickens before they're hatched.")

Romney took swipe after swipe at McCain, emphasized California, defended using own fortune in campaign ("the contributions from my own wallet are between my wife and myself and are budgeted.")

Also on "Morning Joe": Huckabee, Mary Matalin, Terry McAuliffe

------------------------------------------------------------------

CNN's "American Morning": Interviewed early-riser Clinton at the beginning of the broadcast where she hit talking points.

Romney repeated familiar refrain against McCain, but acknowledged he's conservative on some issues. Denied suggesting that Huckabee should drop out.

Obama likened Clinton's health care mandate proposal to eliminating homelessness by requiring everyone buy a house. Said talk of a “dream ticket” with Clinton is “gamesmanship."

------------------------------------------------------------------

CBS's "Early Show": Interviewed Obama, Clinton back-to-back with similar questions (Obama picked Illinois as the one state he wants to win, while Clinton wouldn't pick any: "I want as many as I can get.")

McCain, in taped interview, went after Romney, criticizing him for negative ads, said has "terrible" record as governor, and on national security. Romney followed, responding live, corrected McCain's facts on advertisements, did his anti-McCain spiel.

------------------------------------------------------------------

NBC's "Today": McCain did lengthy in-studio interview with Lauer (Viera did the same later with his wife). Interviewed Obama, Clinton back-to-back where Clinton was asked tough questions, including being shown the weekend's Maria Shriver-Oprah Winfrey video.
