Welcome to Press the Face, a Sunday-morning talk show liveblog where you can respond to the Sunday talks with your opinions, support, refutations, or ravings. The larger goal is to provide meaningful accounts of the the shows for those who are unable to watch them, but it's also an opportunity to share our thoughts in real time as armchair spectators of the sport of political discussion.
This week we lost Jack Kemp, a rare Republican who managed to convey his ideas positively and with enthusiasm and respect for his opponents. Flights of angels, Senator.
In response to popular demand some time ago, I added "Fareed Zakaria GPS" to our lineup, but the show has rarely received much commentary. So please visit the poll below and register your opinion whether "Fareed" should remain in our punditorium.
UPDATE: The poll is asking if we should keep Fareed Zakaria in our weekly lineup. For some reason the last few words of the poll title dropped, so that may be the cause of some confusion.
A review of the liveblog ground rules may be found here.

A reminder about posting: Please scroll through the Comments section to the blockquote containing the title of the show you're commenting on and post your comment under that. This helps to keep the comments from bottlenecking at the top of the diary.
Also, don't forget to record your nominee for the Money Quote under the blockquote comment of each show.
Let us go then, you and I. . .
