It's also a notable campaign moment for Romney, who has limited his Sunday show appearances during the 2012 election to Fox News.

Though Romney made the weekend rounds appearing on multiple Sunday public affairs programs during his 2008 election, his campaign limited the candidate's national media appearances this time around.

As such, Romney remained off the Sunday shows for about twenty consecutive months. He he made his return to Sunday mornings in an interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday" in December 2012, and has since appeared on the program a number of times.
