277 Days until Election Day
MORNING UPDATE:
Mitt Romney wins Maine caucuses. McCain came in second with Paul right behind him in third place. On to Super Tuesday!
POLITICO’s Sunday talk show tip sheet:
Two days before Super Tuesday, all the big-time presidential candidates take one of their last shots at making news Sunday.
In an 11th-hour bid to consolidate conservative credibility, Republican Mitt Romney appears on ABC’s “This Week” and CNN’s “Late Edition.”
Mike Huckabee, the former Republican governor from Arkansas, also stops by “Late Edition” as he continues his drive to dampen the former Massachusetts governor’s plea for conservative support.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, battling Romney and Huckabee for the GOP presidential nomination, and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, in a tight race with New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic nomination, are on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
McCain and Clinton also appear on “Fox News Sunday” and Clinton on “This Week,” as the contenders squeeze in appearances ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who’s mulling another presidential bid, will also be on CNN.
NBC’s “Meet the Press,” spurned by McCain’s refusal to debate one on one with Romney, will usher in Super Tuesday with a roundtable of political consultants: Democrats Bob Shrum and James Carville, and Republicans Mike Murphy and Mary Matalin.
On C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers,” New York Times White House correspondent Sheryl Gay Stolberg and USA Today’s Richard Wolf will preview President Bush’s new budget being sent to Congress Monday.
And for those more into football than politics, try Bloomberg’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” where NFL Films’ Steve Sabol will discuss Super Bowls past and present.
THE REST OF THE STORY:

lets check to see if it "really" counts,
1) Mormons live there - No (okay, so far, so good)
2) Voting for his Dad - No (okay, so far, so good)
3) Did he pander i.e. address local needs - No (great, looking good)
4) Is it in is backyard - Yes (sorry, it doesnt count)
Okay, here comes the anti-Rombot choir - the man with the biggest backyard in the world only won because Maine was in his backyard so it doesnt count (just like Wyoming, Nevada, or Michigan.)
You mean McCain hasn't been elected Supreme leader yet? Oh, I guess there is still this election thing that we need to deal with first.
Message to McCainaics, McCain is a long ways from wrapping it up, no matter what he says. Remember Rudy?
