Early free manure Sunday talk shows: Palin will be MIA on Sunday.

Hat tip to LA Times blog.

Three of the four now-official candidates on the major-party presidential tickets are scheduled to sit down for questions: Democrat Barack Obama on ABC's "This Week," his running mate, Joe Biden, on NBC's "Meet the Press" and Republican John McCain on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Absent from this list, of course, is the GOP's star of the moment, the not-so-long-ago obscure governor of Alaska who is McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin.

Palin still will be busy this weekend. She'll campaign Saturday with McCain in three key states -- Indiana, Colorado and New Mexico -- and she'll deliver his campaign's weekly radio radio address.
