Talk about bottom of the barrel as far as ex-Senators goes.

I have a feeling she is going to go a couple days after Paul so the media can use the intervening period to declare him the front runner and then do an about face and say he has a 0% chance of winning the nomination.

If Clinton waits until after Rubio announces, say the 17th, the media will spend the intervening days obsessing over her entry and every mention of Marco Rubio will be accompanied by Hillary Clinton.

Well, the GOP found a black guy to run. I suppose the dems should concede the black vote now.

Herman Cain would like a word with you.

I hope someone saved all the posts by people saying Clinton won't run.

Jindal will drop out after Iowa. Actually, probably before Iowa, when he continues to have <1% in the polls.

According to Politico, Lindsey's main objective in a potential run would be to stop Paul. He says he'll decide on whether or not to run by late May.

This man is an embarrassment to the whole South.
As opposed to Rand Paul, who is an embarrassment to the entire nation?

Yeah, more embarrassing than a guy who voted to invade Iraq based on false information Roll Eyes
Seeing as how Ron Paul voted to authorize the invasion Iraq, I seriously doubt Rand Paul would have done any differently under the same circumstances. Nice try though.

Republican best hope in 2016 will be declaring his candidacy officially in a few hours Smiley

Not that this day was a surprise to anyone following the party or Rubio's career, it was inevitable the day Romney lost the 2012 election.
If he's the Republican's best hope, wow.

Rubio/Martinez ticket and Nevada is in play, heck a Rubio/Kasich ticket could win there if they play their cards right.

Don't forget Rubio also grew up there for a part of his life. Nevada and Miami are his homes.
Are you going to be a Rubio hack until he drops out after he loses in Florida?

Because i listed the reasons why he has the best shot to win 270 electoral votes? I would love to see a path for any of the other nominees to win 270 votes required to win...

Bring up a map and lets see a path for paul, cruz, bush (Best shot) or walker
I don't think any of them has a particularly good path to 270.

I don't think any of them has a particularly good path to 270.

Walker needs to win all of the blue states on the map plus 1 of the 3 green states:




Here's the map for Bush. He needs all of the blue states on the map below, plus one of these three combinations:

1. PA
2. Both OH and VA
3. Both WI and OH
4. Both WI and VA



Of course, if republicans can put Nevada, Michigan, and/or Minnesota in play, it gets (a little) easier.  But I don't see them doing so at this point in time. New Hampshire is only 4 electoral votes and so isn't really all that worth going for, so I didn't bother factoring it into these calculations.
Like I said, none of them have a particularly good path.

The last thing Ben Carson needs is to be filmed every day. He's so hilariously inane when talking about politics I sincerely doubt even FOX could keep him on air.

I woke up this morning thinking the Republican race for the nomination needed more crazy old white guys, and Mike Huckabee answered my prayers.

Bush is traveling to Europe in early June (Germany, Poland, and Estonia):

I don't see the Germans embracing another Bush to be honest.
