(UPDATE: No offense to the riveting network guest lists below, but here’s what you might really want to TiVo Sunday morning at 6 Pacific: C-SPAN releases its second Historians’ Survey of Presidential Leadership in which a bunch of them rank all the presidents on 10 criteria. Look for Buchanan and Filmore to make their move on Tyler this year.)

(AN EVEN NEWER UPDATE: You can find the results of the new C-SPAN historical presidential rankings by clicking here. You won’t be surprised about No. 1. But the bottom guy might fool you.)

ABC’s This Week: Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Reps. Peter King (R-N.Y.) and Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and a round table of Donna Brazile, Sam Donaldson, Cokie Roberts and George Will.
