Here’s what is on tap for Wednesday:

‘FOX & Friends First’ (6 a.m. ET)

The fall campaign season is here and both President Bush (search) and Sen. John Kerry (search) are taking swipes at each other on the stump. But will the political punches attract voter support, or send them packing? We’ll get a fair and balanced debate from Democratic strategist Chris Lapetina and Republican lawyer and columnist, Chris Horner.

Plus, fierce clashes between al-Sadr's militia and U.S. forces have many wondering what it will take to permanently stop the violence in Iraq. We’ll get insight from Stefan Halper, senior fellow of international studies at Cambridge University and co-author of "America Alone."

And, when Bill Baker, author of “Lighthouse Island” and president of New York’s public television station, wants to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city, he has the perfect place to go.

‘FOX & Friends’ (7 a.m. ET)

President Bush picks up some points in the polls, but he has yet to secure the 270 electoral votes needed to lock in a White House win. We’ll examine the recent candidate poll positions with independent pollster, Scott Rasmussen.

Plus, the presidential campaign season is heating up and even though some polls have President Bush in a double-digit lead over John Kerry, does anyone have a true advantage? Tony Blankley, editorial page editor for The Washington Times, weighs in.

Did the 9/11 Commission fail to include key pieces of evidence in their report that would have shed light on events leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks? We’ll ask Peter Lance, author of "Cover Up.”

Has the Bush administration shielded key ally Saudi Arabia from a congressional investigation into the 9/11 attacks? We’ll ask Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., author of “Intelligence Matters” and former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

How far would you go to show team pride? We’ll be joined by one Pittsburgh Steelers fan that is going to arctic extremes this NFL season.
