It would have been nice if grades worked this way when I was in school.

Generally agree with Halperin but he is seriously in the tank for Bush. Remember how he said he could make CA competitive. His Bloomberg show had good coverage from cpac. You can see full episodes on their site.

What do you expect from the guy who said Jeb could win California?

I've read that more than half of the voters were between 18-25 years old.

Which means this is a really good result for Walker, considering his support his much stronger with the olds.

I don't agree with Mo Elleithee on much but Walker went over the line in my opinion comparing protesters to terrorists. He probably is just pandering the crowd but for us  Moderates we think twice about for voting somebody  that says that. That along with Planned Parenthood and Walker defunding it in his state brings up red flags about Walker in my opinion. He also said in his recall election in 2011 he wouldn't do right-to-work laws in his state for private sector workers now he says he is gonna do it. I am having my doubts about Walker right now. I'm not saying I wouldn't vote for him but like I said its red flags and enough red flags that are put up like Romney in 2012 I just can't vote for you.

I don't think he's "just pandering to the crowd". There have been other, similar slips - Mr. Walker seems like he would really love to be in charge of a nationwide police state. I've gone from disliking him to fearing him. I normally vote green, or don't vote, but I'm now at the point where I'd suck it up and vote Democrat just to keep Walker out of office, should he end up as Republican nominee.

Guys, I think Halperin may need an intervention. This is what he said about Fiorina:

Mark Halperin is an extremely well-connected reporter, but his analysis is worthless.

Michele Bachmann would be a more competent president than Carly Fiorina. I say that in all seriousness.

[bobloblaw]

I find this idea that Bush will do well with the hispanic vote because his wife is Mexican absurd. Hillary is married to a southern english speaking white guy. I guess Hillary will sweep that demographic

perhaps, but that is not how she comes across, which is what counts for success at this stage.

[Lincoln Republican]

If Walker had Cruz's academic credentials, he would be a viable candidate.

Yes. Anything that isn't Mark Halperin verbatim repeating what inside sources tell him is worthless. Though luckily for him, he knows some very interesting inside sources.
