This morning brings a grab bag: A little pope analysis, a bit of navel-gazing over CPAC and the future of the GOP, and a whole lot of yakking about the new Democratic and Republican congressional budgets with Paul Ryan, Chris Van Hollen, John Boehner, Dick Durbin, and the rest of the usual suspects. Expect a few lame “what St. Patrick’s Day means to me” speeches from the various hosts as well.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ben Carson will build on his CPAC speech with an appearance on “State of the Union.” The line-up via National Journal:
