"David Axelrod And Howard Dean To Duke It Out On Meet The Press"

Greg Sargent:

NBC News emails the line-up for Meet the Press this Sunday, and it includes:

David Axelrod
White House Senior Adviser

Dr. Howard Dean
Fmr. Chair, Democratic National Committee
2004 Democratic Presidential Candidate
Fmr. Governor of Vermont

An NBC spokesperson confirms that Axelrod will be on first, followed by Dean. Should be must-watch TV, and very high-stakes: A lot riding on who wins this argument over the long term.
