Kate Walsh Leaving 'Private Practice' In Season 6 (REPORT)

"The Bachelor"

<strong>"The Bachelor," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> You really think we've seen the last rose handed out? Not in a million years. ABC has already tapped their next "Bachelorette," and we know they'll have their eyes peeled for a hot rejected man from that spinoff to be the next "Bachelor."

"The Bachelorette"

<strong>"The Bachelorette," ABC</strong> <br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Likely to be renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> "Bachelor" Brad's also-ran Emily Maynard is getting her turn as the rose giver for the seventh season of "The Bachelorette" this summer. As long as there are people willing to look for love on reality TV, this show will keep on trucking.

"Body of Proof"

<strong>"Body of Proof," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> "Body of Proof" has been falling below its timeslot competitor, CBS's "Unforgettable," but it still draws a decent audience and its fans are very vocal. ABC has decided it deserves a third season.

"Castle"

<strong>"Castle," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> This show's ratings have definitely suffered without "Dancing With the Stars" airing beforehand, but it is a consistent performer. And now that Castle and Beckett's relationship is evolving, a fifth season of "oh yes they will" is a no-brainer.

"Charlie's Angels"

<strong>"Charlie's Angels," ABC</strong> <br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Not really a shock for anybody, but "Charlie's Angels" is cooked. Flimsy story, bad remake, questionable casting.

"Cougar Town"

<strong>"Cougar Town," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed -- for TBS!<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> The Season 3 ratings weren't boosted much by holding this show until midseason, but ABC's wonky air schedule also didn't help ... which is why the news that TBS has picked up the show for a fourth season is huge. Cheers with your Big Carl!

"Dancing With the Stars"

<strong>"Dancing With the Stars," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> "DWTS" may have lost its luster in the ratings, but if the viewers are still coming.

"Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23"

<strong>"Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> ABC's new bleep-worthy comedy starring Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker and James Van Der Beek is a funny one, and definitely embraces the quirk (Beek Jeans!), so we're excited to see what they do with a second season.

"Desperate Housewives"

<strong>"Desperate Housewives," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> After countless deaths, murders, betrayals and natural disasters on Wisteria Lane over the show's eight seasons, the ladies of "Desperate Housewives" will say goodbye forever this May.

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"

<strong>"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled <br /> <strong>Why:</strong> After a whopping nine seasons, the do-gooding show came to an end in January. But worry not, it will continue to have a few specials to make viewers cry tears of joy.

"GCB"

<strong>"GCB," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> This "Desperate Housewives"-esque dramedy premiered to less than 8 million viewers, and the phenomenal cast (Kristin Chenoweth, Annie Potts, Leslie Bibb) couldn't bring in a Texas-sized audience, so ABC canceled it.

"Grey's Anatomy"

<strong>"Grey's Anatomy," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Shonda Rhimes' medical drama is a ratings juggernaut, even in its eighth season, and with most of her <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/10/greys-anatomy-ellen-pompeo_n_1506113.html?ref=tv" target="_hplink">big stars signed on for more</a>, ABC gave the go-ahead for a ninth season.

"Happy Endings"

<strong>"Happy Endings," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> This show is way too "ca-yute" to bubble it, and obviously someone high up at ABC agrees. After its first season was moved around and aired all out of order, the network still gave it another chance to find its audience in Season 2 ... and it has, and hopefully will continue to in Season 3.

"Last Man Standing"

<strong>"Last Man Standing," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status: </strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Ratings for Tim Allen's return to sitcoms have been very strong, making it Tuesday's most-watched comedy. If you can beat "Glee" and "The Biggest Loser," a second season is a given.

"Man Up!"

<strong>"Man Up!," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> ABC pulled the show after eight episodes.

"The Middle"

<strong>"The Middle," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Now in its third season, "The Middle" is still holding onto its middle position in the ratings on Wednesday nights, and that seems just about right. It doesn't do "American Idol" or "Survivor" numbers, of course, but with over 7 million viewers, it's a strong comedy for the network that easily beats anything NBC is offering.

"Missing"

<strong>"Missing," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Ashley Judd lead this drama about a former CIA agent whose son goes missing, kicking her back into action to find him. The series was only set to air 10 episodes, miniseries-style, with the potential for more, but a cancellation means that's all they're getting.

"Modern Family"

<strong>"Modern Family," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> "Modern Family" remains ABC's biggest sitcom success story of the last decade, both in ratings and awards love. This critical darling is getting a fourth season of hijinks with the hilarious Pritchett-Dunphy clan.

"Once Upon A Time"

<strong>"Once Upon A Time," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> "Once Upon a Time" has gotten praise for being one of the more family-friendly dramas on TV, and it's been pulling in close to 10 million viewers each week because of it. We're excited by the almost endless possibilities for new fairy tale-inspired stories to tackle in Season 2.

"Pan Am"

<strong>"Pan Am," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Poor "Pan Am" just never quite took off. The series' vintage look actually worked against it, much like NBC's swiftly canceled "Playboy Club" -- guess when you're being compared to award-winning shows like "Mad Men," it makes it more than a little tough to live up to the hype.

"Private Practice"

<strong>"Private Practice," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> "Private Practice" has never gotten "Grey's Anatomy"-level ratings, and things got shakier when ABC bumped it to Tuesday nights to make room for creator Shonda Rhimes' <em>other</em> new show, "Scandal," but they've given the show a sixth season order.

"Revenge"

<strong>"Revenge," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> With a clever mix of drama, mystery and serious revenge-ing, this is hands down one of the most addictive new shows on TV, and we can't wait to see where they take things in Season 2.

"The River"

<strong>"The River," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> The promise of "Paranormal Activity"-like scares each week quickly fizzled after this show premiered, along with the ratings. The first season's eight episodes came and went, and ABC has nixed any plans for more.

"Scandal"

<strong>"Scandal," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Shonda Rhimes' latest show isn't about doctors at all -- and that's why we're glad it's sticking around. Kerry Washington is amazing as Olivia Pope, a Washington, D.C. fixer with a crack team of specialists helping make bad headlines vanish before they're ever written. Here's hoping for more than seven episodes in its second season.

"Shark Tank"

<strong>"Shark Tank," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Now in its third season, this reality competition show is unlike any other on network TV and ABC is keeping it around for more for that very reason.

"Suburgatory"

<strong>"Suburgatory," ABC</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> It's smart, quick and not too cute -- "Suburgatory" is consistently named the sitcom you should be watching, but probably aren't. The great cast makes this one a no-brainer, and the ratings have stayed pretty consistent, too. We're thrilled it's getting a second season to shine!

"Work It"

<strong>"Work It," ABC</strong> <br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled <br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Let us count the ways ...

"2 Broke Girls"

<strong>"2 Broke Girls," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why: </strong>At first, people balked at the racist supporting characters, but now it seems that audiences are all over "2 Broke Girls" -- it's ratings have seen a steady increase, and it won the People's Choice Award for Favorite New Comedy.

"A Gifted Man"

<strong>"A Gifted Man," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why: </strong>"A Gifted Man's" total viewer numbers were OK for a Friday night, but a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic is especially bad for CBS. Another bad sign: star Patrick Wilson tweeted about the end: "I had a great time. Thanks to my fans. So happy it's done." And done it is.

"The Amazing Race"

<strong>"The Amazing Race," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status: </strong>Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Voted the best reality show on TV several times (albeit years ago), "The Amazing Race" isn't going anywhere. Ratings have dropped a bit, but are still solid.

"The Big Bang Theory"

<strong>"The Big Bang Theory," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Nothing seems to be able to make a dent in this show. With fantastic ratings (it beat "Idol"!) and a rabid following, we'll be seeing plenty more "Big Bang" before its run is over.

"Blue Bloods"

<strong>"Blue Bloods," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed <br /> <strong>Why:</strong> The anchor of Friday nights on CBS, "Blue Bloods" has performed well, pulling in around 11 million viewers an episode. The show might not have the youngest audience, but it's still enough for CBS to keep it on the schedule.

"Criminal Minds"

<strong>"Criminal Minds," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Paget Brewster might be checking out, but "Criminal Minds" is here to stay. In Season 7, the procedural is still a consistently strong ratings performer for CBS.

"CSI"

<strong>"CSI," CBS</strong> <br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Whenever the time comes, the "CSI" mothership will end with a lot of fanfare, but not this year. With new faces Ted Danson and Elisabeth Shue around, there is going to be at least one more season.<br />

"CSI: Miami"

<strong>"CSI: Miami," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Canceled<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Out of the three (!) "CSI" programs on the air, "CSI: Miami" is the one to say goodbye first. The one-time ratings giant has been affected by football overruns (just as "The Good Wife" has) and "CSI: NY" has the edge in terms of total viewers, meaning a "Miami" sunset was inevitable. <br />

"CSI: NY"

<strong>"CSI: NY," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> Of the two "CSI" spinoffs, "CSI: NY" is the stronger -- pulling in more than 10 million viewers on a Friday night is no easy task -- and with "CSI: Miami" canceled, "CSI: NY's" renewal was a no-brainer.

"The Good Wife"

<strong>"The Good Wife," CBS</strong><br /> <strong>Status:</strong> Renewed<br /> <strong>Why:</strong> This critical darling suffered after its move from Tuesdays to Sundays thanks to sports overruns. The viewers are frustrated, but given its strong cast and Emmy love, the show is still coming back for more.

Ford, State Farm To Offer Insurance Savings Over Sync ? CBS Detroit

2012 Ford Mustang equipped with SYNC AppLink

DEARBORN ? The nation?s No. 2 automaker and the country?s leading insurer of cars have joined forces to offer lower insurance premiums for drivers.

Using Ford Sync technology, State Farm Insurance is expanding its Drive Safe & Save program.

The program allows State Farm customers with select Sync-equipped Ford Motor Co. vehicles to reduce their auto insurance premiums by using the Vehicle Health Report feature to report their mileage.

The magnitude of the savings will be determined by the number of miles they drive. Those choosing to enroll in the program will initially save about 5 percent on their auto insurance coverage. The amount of premium savings will be determined at each renewal date (every six months) based on the number of miles driven during that period. Those driving the national average of 1,000 miles per month will typically save around 10 percent, but that could change depending on actual mileage driven, with low-mileage drivers saving up to 40 percent.

?We?re excited to have Ford as a partner in this effort,? said State Farm Senior Vice President Mike Wey. ?State Farm is always looking for better ways to serve our customers.?

Ford Sync provides drivers with the ability to voice command and control their mobile devices, like cell phones and MP3 players, and provides services such as 911 Assist, an emergency calling feature, and Vehicle Health Report. Vehicle Health Report is a standard, no-subscription feature that allows owners to request a diagnostic report about their vehicle?s performance and maintenance needs. Since Vehicle Health Report pulls the odometer reading directly from the engine computer, the mileage from the report is considered verified and can be shared with State Farm representatives to qualify the vehicle for Drive Safe & Save.

?We?re very pleased to be working with State Farm to lower the cost of vehicle ownership for the three million Ford Sync owners who are driving vehicles with the Vehicle Health Report feature,? said Doug VanDagens, Ford Connected Services global director. ?Sync Vehicle Health Report is free for the life of the vehicle, so our customers can qualify for insurance discounts without having to pay a monthly subscription.?

State Farm?s Drive Safe & Save program for Ford Sync will initially launch in Utah then roll out to other states.

Donald Trump: The Company Mitt Keeps

By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone ) and AMY WALTER ( @amyewalter )

NOTABLES:

PLANET TRUMP: Donald Trump still has a certain gravitational pull in Republican circles and tonight Mitt Romney will be squarely in his orbit. On the same day that Romney is all but certain to officially clinch the GOP presidential nomination, the former Massachusetts governor will appear with the reality television star and "birther" theorist in Las Vegas. As ABC News Political Director Amy Walter points out, the appearance reflects Romney's challenge to keep parts of the GOP base engaged, while also not turning off moderates.

DO THE MATH: Texas holds its primary today, and 155 delegates are up for grabs. To surpass the magic number of delegates he needs to secure the Republican presidential nomination - 1,144 - Romney will need just 45 percent of the vote in the Lone Star State.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S NEW BOOK: First Lady Michelle Obama sat down with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts this morning to talk about her new book about gardens titled "American Grown." She also weighed in on beets ("You either love them or you hate them") and Beyonce ("I love her to death").

VEEP BEAT: Marco Rubio?travels to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Tuesday to conduct oversight of the facility, tour the base, and meet with the commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay, ABC News has learned.?Check out the rest of the veepstakes news below in "Veep Beat."

THE NOTE:

By the end of tonight, Mitt Romney will finally be able to say that he's got enough delegates to clinch the Republican nomination, but his appearance at a Las Vegas fundraiser with Donald Trump is a reminder that he's still not quite freed from the pull of the base.

Despite Trump's peddling of the discredited theory of "birtherism" in recent days, Romney doesn't appear to be worried.

When asked about Trump's remarks yesterday afternoon, Romney made no attempt to correct Trump, but simply stated: "I don't agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don't all agree with everything I believe in. But I need to get 50.1 percent or more and I'm appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people."

And, it is this delicate balancing act - keeping parts of the GOP base engaged, while also not turning off moderates - that is going to be the real challenge for Romney going forward, ABC Political Director Amy Walter points out.

He needs to make sure that those conservatives who stayed at home in 2008 are motivated to come out and support him this November. But, he can't afford to look too "extreme" to those suburban voters in key swing counties like Jefferson County, Colorado or Loudon County, Virginia.

And as ABC's Rick Klein notes, Romney's joint appearance with the reality television and real estate mogul is also a "reminder of the campaign's future. Romney wouldn't campaign with The Donald unless he thought he needed him. In the kind of razor-thin race Romney is expecting, he'll need more than the passive backing of 'birthers' and other fringe elements of the GOP, and that means even Trump - with his revived birther nonsense - isn't worth offending."

His decision to stand side-by-side with Trump notwithstanding tonight is the culmination of a year of campaigning for Romney. As Texas holds its primary, 155 delegates are up for grabs. To surpass the magic number of delegates he needs to secure the Republican presidential nomination - 1,144 - Romney will need just 45 percent of the vote in the Lone Star State.

ROMNEY'S NOMINATION IN ONE SENTENCE: The Washington Post's Phil Rucker writes today, "[The] Republican Party will have selected an unlikely standard-bearer for 2012: a New Englander in a party rooted in the South; a man of moderate temperament in a party fueled by hot rhetoric; a Mormon in a party guided by evangelical Christians; a flip-flopper in a party that demands ideological purity." http://wapo.st/Jq48yu

OBAMA CAMPAIGN CELEBRATES TRUMP DAY. A new video sent out this morning from Obama campaign headquarters remind us that Chicago would love nothing more than to talk about the close alliance between Romney and Trump. The video shows clips of 2008 GOP nominee Sen. John McCain correcting voters who said President Obama is an "Arab" or a "Muslim" followed by clips of Trump spouting his "birther" talk. "As the Republican nominee, John McCain stood up to the voices of extremism," the video notes. "McCain and Romney, two Republican nominees. Only one willing to lead." WATCH: http://bit.ly/KN0yBS

ROMNEY CAMPAIGN FRAMES THE WEEK: A Romney campaign aide passes along this week's messaging from Boston: "Why has this been the worst economic recovery since The Great Depression? President Obama is fundamentally hostile to job creators - both in his rhetoric and in his policies. ? President Obama has never managed anything other than his own personal narrative. He has never created a job and never run a business. President Obama not only doesn't understand the economy - he also opposes the free-market principles that built it. His policies have prevented businesses from growing, thriving, and creating jobs, and he has no plans to change course. He will double down on these failed policies if given a second term. ? Mitt Romney knows that the free enterprise system has created more jobs and lifted more people out of poverty than any government program in history. Starting on Day One, President Romney will remove the burdens that the Obama Administration has placed on businesses and allow them to start hiring again." The Romney campaign released an accompanying web video this morning focusing on the failed energy company, Solyndra. WATCH: http://mi.tt/Ko291P

TEXAS PRIMARY PRIMER.?Everything's bigger in Texas, and today's state and presidential primary is no exception, reports ABC's Elizabeth Hartfield.? As we noted above, Mitt Romney is expected to reach (and surpass) 1,144 delegates tonight-the magic delegate number needed to officially win the GOP nomination.?But there's also the?Republican Senate primary, which is so far the most expensive Senate race in this election cycle. Some $25 million has been spent on behalf of the candidates seeking to fill the seat left open by Kay Bailey Hutchison's retirement. Although the list of candidates on the ballot is long, the race is mostly considered to be contained to David Dewhurst, the state's lieutenant governor, and Ted Cruz, the former solicitor general.? http://abcn.ws/L0j1cw

THE SENATE PRIMARY HAS BEEN A COSTLY, BITTER FIGHT.?And it may not end today.? Texas election code stipulates that candidates must receive at least 50 percent of the vote to win their party's nomination outright. If no candidate reaches that mark, the top two candidates go into a runoff, which would take place? July 31. Polls show Dewhurst ahead, but shy of the 50 percent mark. A Dewhurst/Cruz runoff looks like a strong possibility.? http://abcn.ws/ JKsrxf

NOTED: ABC's Chris Good points out that the major presidential-primary story of the day could again be Obama's vote total after his weak showings recently in West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky. Obama could take around 60 percent again in Texas, where the ballot includes three other candidates, including Tennessee lawyer John Wolfe, who won 42 percent in Arkansas last Tuesday. Obama polls poorly in Texas, but not as poorly as in those states: when Gallup ranked Obama's 2011 approval in all 50 states in January, Texas gave him the 18th worst showing - compare that to West Virginia (5th), Arkansas (7th), and Kentucky (11th). Voters cannot vote "uncommitted" or write in, leaving Wolfe, investor Bob Ely, and political-history author Darcy G. Richardson to vie for non-Obama votes among those who ask for Democratic ballots or seek out Democratic polling places.

VIDEO OF THE DAY. ROMNEY'S SHORT LIST: RUBIO, PAWLENTY RISING, DANIELS SLIDING.?In the latest episode of his ABC News/Yahoo! Power Players Series "Spinners & Winners" Jon Karl takes a closer look at some of the potential VP candidates. Karl says?Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in the top tier of potential VP nominees, is showing he can play the number one role of a running mate: attack dog.?And could this be a tea leaf? The latest Romney television ad features a clip of Romney walking with Tim Pawlenty - making him the first potential running mate to appear in a Romney general election ad. http://yhoo.it/JLd3Mk

LOOKING BACK ON ROMNEY'S ROAD TO 1,144.?The Wall Street Journal's Patrick O'Connor reports:?"The face-off between Mr. Romney and President Barack Obama has been under way for nearly two months, so the Republican delegate win is a mere formality at this stage in the White House race.?But it marks an official end to a process that began with the Jan. 3 caucuses in Iowa and wrapped up in mid-April when former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum ended his presidential bid. It also serves as a reminder of how the Republican Party drew out the nominating fight by forcing many states to divide their delegates proportionally."? http://on.wsj.com/LP75w7

ROMNEY WARNS OF WORLDWIDE THREATS. ?ABC's Emily Friedman reports? Mitt Romney ?thanked the sacrifice of servicemen and women while warning of the grave dangers around the globe, remarking frankly that 'the world is not safe' before ticking off a list of grave security issues around the globe. "I wish I could tell you that the world is a safe place today,"said Romney, speaking before a crowd of nearly 5,000 which included servicemen and women in uniform. The sizable crowd is one of the largest Romney has ever drawn.? http://abcn.ws/L8HNXA

OBAMA RECALLS VIETNAM VETS TREATMENT. ?ABC's Jon Garcia reports, in his second address on Memorial Day,?President Obama?paid specific tribute to those perished during the Vietnam War on the 50th anniversary of its beginning. He recalled the sacrifice of the troops who served there and the unjust blame that was heaped on them upon their return. "It was a national shame, a disgrace that should have never happened. That's why here today we resolve that it will not happen again," Obama told vets and their families gathered at the? Vietnam War ?Memorial on the national mall.? http://abcn.ws/L8L2yi

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES, NEITHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE HAS SERVED.?For the first time since 1944, the two primary candidates for president have no military background, notes ABC's Matt Negrin.?It has been more than six decades since a presidential election didn't involve a veteran. Sen. John McCain was a prisoner of war as a Navy aviator; former President George W. Bush was in the Air National Guard and Sen. John Kerry served in Vietnam; Al Gore was in the Army; Bill Clinton never served but Bob Dole did; and every president from George H.W. Bush to Harry Truman was in a branch of the military.? http://abcn.ws/ KZaNVA

BARNEY FRANK'S AWKWARD HOODIE JOKE.?Barney Frank, the retiring Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, never known to speak anything but his mind, used his address to graduating seniors at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth Sunday to make a cringe-inducing joke about hoodies, reports ABC's Zach Wolf.?"I do want to acknowledge a man who has played a ?major role in diminishing inequality in Massachusetts," said Frank, referring to the activist?Hubie Jones. "He's a great man and I've worked with Hubie for many years. You know he got an honorary degree today. You know when you get an honorary degree they give you one of these," said Frank, indicating the white graduation hood around his neck. "Hubie, I think you have a hoodie you can wear and nobody will shoot at you."? http://abcn.ws/MTKy3w

NEW APPROACH, BETTER RESULTS FOR SARAH PALIN. ?Politico's Maggie Haberman and Emily Shultheis report: "Everyone has wondered who the Sarah Palin of 2012 would be. The answer is?Sarah Palin.?Palin has made a string of successful recent endorsements, including an?against-the-grain nod?to Nebraska Republican Senate hopeful Deb Fischer in a three-way primary where most other conservatives, including tea-party leader Sen. Jim DeMint, backed another candidate. Rick Santorum, the last conservative non-Romney standing at the end of the primaries, endorsed there and?in today's Texas primary?to no great effect." http://politi.co/JREgeC

ROLLING THUNDER PRESIDENT TALKS POLITICS. ?ABC's Matt Negrin caught up with?the president of Rolling Thunder Washington, Ted Shpak, who's been cruising with the group since the 1980s. His focus is on getting people in Washington to take care of veterans, and he boasts of writing six bills and getting them passed. They talked about the draft, about immigration, about 2012, etc. Spoiler alert: He doesn't like President Obama.? http://abcn.ws/LWXt5s

THE POLITICS OF A FLIP-FLOP. ?The Washington Post's Marc Fischer reports: "In politics, a mind can be a terrible thing to change. Attack ads featuring spinning weather vanes and double-talking candidates have become a staple of American campaigns, but consultants who make those ads say the flip-flopper charge doesn't always stick - and no one has a formula to predict exactly when it will.?But there are reasons why some politicians' changes of heart strike voters as evidence of duplicity and others are accepted as the result of reasoned reconsideration - and America's cultural divide on social issues might explain why certain flip-flopper charges hit home."? http://wapo.st/JJY45g

SENATORS TAKE ON ROMNEY'S VP: PICK ONE OF US. ?The Hill's Alexander Bolton reports: "Senators think a senator would make the best vice presidential pick for Mitt Romney, several of them told The Hill.?Their reasoning: senators' ability to serve as president, the selection could help Romney in swing states, it would avoid a Sarah Palin-like situation and that having a senator on the ticket could help Republicans win back control of the upper chamber."? http://bit.ly/LDBNoB

RUBIO HEADS TO GITMO:?Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. is traveling to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba Tuesday to conduct oversight of the facility, tour the base, and meet with the commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo Bay, ABC News has learned. "This visit will allow Sen. Rubio an opportunity to better understand the role Guantanamo Bay plays in US detention operations, and examine how the military commission process for trying the terrorists housed there is proceeding," Alex Conant, a spokesman for Rubio, e-mails.? Rubio, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, will tour the Expeditionary Legal Complex, the Joint Task Force Guantanamo headquarters to receive an intelligence overview, meet with the Joint Task Force Commander - Rear Admiral Jeffrey Harbeson, U.S. Navy, and tour CAMP VI, the building which houses detainees.?

CHRIS CHRISTIE: THE MASTER OF YOUTUBE: ?We've all seen the bi-partisan spoof of the veepstakes produced by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker, but as Melissa Hayes of The Record reports, "The self-produced satire highlighted a larger theme: Christie has removed the media filters, standing nearly alone among politicians in his vigorous use of Internet video, an effective and comfortable home for the Republican."? http://bit.ly/JriKO3

CHRIS CHRISTIE & BEYONCE: ?Over the weekend, N.J. Gov. Chris Christie attended a Beyonce concert at the Revel Resort in Atlantic City with his family. Also in attendance - First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters, Sasha and Malia.
