Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., second from left, and his wife Cindy, second from right, share a laugh with Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker, left, and Traveling Press Secretary Brooke Buchanan, right, this morning on his campaign plane en route to Grand Rapids, Mich., following his New Hampshire Republican presidential primary victory.

There's no rest for the weary.

Presidential candidates made appearances on the early network TV shows today after seeing how they fared last night in New Hampshire.

And there's another round of primaries coming up.

For all the candidates going the distance, the new focus is Michigan (Jan. 15), South Carolina (Republicans, Jan. 19; Democrats Jan. 26), Nevada (Jan. 19) and Florida (Jan. 29). Two dozen states vote on Super Tuesday, Feb. 5.

In Rhode Island, the presidential primary is scheduled for March 5. Who knows who'll still be in the race by then?

But for the moment, you can keep track of who's submitted enough valid signatures to get on the ballot via the Secretary of State's Web site here.

On the Democrat side, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are in the local race.

On the Repulican, it's John McCain, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul.

The deadline for validation is tomorrow.
