DONNA KELLEY, CNN ANCHOR: The presidential candidates campaigning hard for tomorrow's elections in Virginia, Washington state and North Dakota, and with that they're also looking ahead to the Super Tuesday races a week from tomorrow.</s>KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: And for a look at how the contests are shaping up and the latest winners and losers, CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider has our Monday morning report.</s>WILLIAM SCHNEIDER, CNN SR. POLITICAL ANALYST (voice-over): The big winner last week has to be John McCain, who pulled off a big surprise in Michigan and threw the GOP race wide open. New Hampshire and South Carolina are strange, quirky places, but in Michigan you're playing for real. The week's loser? George Bush, who was thrown on the defensive not just by his defeat in Michigan but also by the sudden emergence of religion as an issue in this race. Bush claims he wants the GOP to be more inclusive. So what was he doing at a place like Bob Jones University, and why was Pat Robertson making pre-recorded telephone calls to voters on his behalf? He was winning the South Carolina primary, of course, but that proved to be a costly victory. McCain used it against Bush in Michigan. From now on, conservatives and Republicans become much more important in the GOP race, and that, my friends, is why we're seeing a sudden twist in this race. McCain is now advertising himself as a conservative here in California, while Bush is trying to break out of his conservative base. He's run so far to the right he risked appearing unelectable. Meanwhile, Bill Bradley has been calling Al Gore a conservative because Gore's votes in Congress 20 years ago. But Democrats have a pretty good fix on who Al Gore is. As long as Gore is winning, he's probably not to unhappy to be called a conservative by Bradley. That sets up Gore nicely to run as a senator (ph). (on camera): You know, this thing is getting real interesting. Bill Schneider, CNN, Los Angeles.
