SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:58 P.M. ET:

CONGRATULATIONS TO SARAH – From London's Daily Mail:  "Bristol Palin has announced she is engaged to her Medal of Honor recipient boyfriend Dakota Meyer.  The 24-year-old daughter of the former Alaska governor and failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin shared the news on her Instagram page on Saturday.  Alongside an image of her kissing the 26-year-old former marine, who received the Medal of Honor, she wrote: 'Truly the luckiest girl in the world, cannot wait to marry this man!!!!'"  Good luck to all.

UNDER THE BUS – From the Chicago Sun-Times:  "New York is where they’d rather be.  So let’s cut to the chase.  Sneed is told by impeccable sources that President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, want to live in New York when they leave the White House.  'They want New York, plain and simple,' said a top Sneed source who asked to remain anonymous — but has a relationship with the Obamas.  'It’s not an unusual decision,' added the source. 'The Clintons moved to New York after Bill Clinton left the presidency. It’s a happening place.'  'They love the vibe in New York and don’t plan to have their main residence in Chicago,' a second source said."  Obama has thrown plenty of people under the bus.  Now he's apparently throwing a whole city under the bus. 

WALKER CHARGES AHEAD – Hard-charging presidential contender Scott Walker is relentless, a quality that makes him one of the favorites for the GOP presidential nomination.  He's in New Hampshire now.  From WKOW, Madison, Wisconsin:  "CONCORD, NH (WKOW) -- Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) got a lot of applause and ultimately a standing ovation at a New Hampshire Republican Party training event Saturday morning, but most in attendance said they wouldn't make up their mind on who to vote for in the 2016 GOP primary for a long time.  Gov. Walker also indicated this will be the first of many visits to the Granite State this year, both by him and apparently his sons Matt and Alex. The two are college students at UW-Madison and Marquette University respectively.  'They've twisted our arms to maybe take part of a semester off next year, next fall and come to New Hampshire and come around the country and talk to young people themselves,' said Gov. Walker."  Walker has made some gaffes recently, but he's a very fast learner, and has a habit of winning elections.  Everything at this point is sheer speculation, but I'm guessing that it will eventually come down to Walker or Rubio.
