I completely disagree with waiting until the next President takes the oath of office to select a new justice. Doing so would be an abdication of constitutional duty. It's not as if we're days away from the general election. November is still many months away. If the nominee that President Obama puts...

I didn't always agree with the guy, but he was true to his principles.

His passing will have tremendous implications on public policy.

He'll be hosting a rally at the ridiculously oversized and underused EMU Convocation Center:

Is this Sanders' first campaign stop in Michigan?

To answer your question - yes, he is definitely the worst....EVER.

John Lund, Eric Pate, the "Mega Man" and Eli Zaret were all kinds of awful, but Leach is in a class all by himself.

Carson would be a miserable VP candidate. Trump needs someone with Washington or gubernatorial experience for that post.

Good analysis, Bryce. Thanks for posting that info. The spending differences are highly interesting.

I agree with your assessment. Cruz is in fine shape and has a good chance of making it to the convention.

New Hampshire loves populists; social conservatives almost always do poorly there. Cruz performed to expectations. If he places first or a respectable second in SC, he'll be fine. Ben Carson's showing was so abysmal that the media have moved on to other things. They are not even wasting a single bre...

Indeed, Rubio's disappointing showing will be a big story. He'll survive, though.

Bush looks to have done well enough to continue. There's some life left.

Christie and Fiorina are toast. Carson's numbers are horrific.

Gigantic turnout in New Hampshire; some of the lines at polling stations were massive!!!

Not a surprise that Trump and Sanders won given the turnout.

Based on early returns, BMW's predictions might wind up being very close to the actual percentages!

My predictions for the GOP and Dem races: Democratic primary Bernie Sanders - 53% Hillary Clinton - 46% Other - 1% Republican primary Donald Trump - 25% John Kasich - 16% Marco Rubio - 16% Ted Cruz - 15% Chris Christie - 10% Jeb Bush - 8% Others - 10% Based on the above predictions, I predict only f...

I love seeing the polling data, personally.

NS8401, please keep 'em coming.

What did you guys think of last night's debate? My opinion of Rubio has changed; he had a terrible performance last night. He'll need to do much better next time if he wants to earn my vote. Prior to last night, he was my #2 choice. Now he's #4. Cruz handled himself well; I liked many of his answers...

All polls for New Hampshire from the last five days show Trump with a double digit lead over the second place candidate. In some cases, his lead is 15 percent or more. If he loses New Hampshire, he's in trouble. If Christie fails to reach double digits, he needs to leave the race. If he cannot do re...

Bryce, your premise is silly considering most African Americans in elected office are liberal Democrats, including the one in the White House. The Democratic field for President has far fewer candidates than the GOP field, so it isn't exactly a fair comparison you are making Extremely few people vie...

I have zero issue with Fiorina being excluded. It's not the RNC's fault that her poll numbers are abysmal and that her campaign is dead.
