In terms of actual policy positions, Rubio is to the right of Cruz (Cruz voted to weaken the Patriot Act), so it is not weird at all.

President Carter for Trump (for the primary at least), no endorsement between Hillary and Bernie, but he seems to like Clinton more and says he'll support the Democrat in November.

King is not; Sanders officially switched party registration last year, while King has not.

One I'm unsure about is DC Shadow Senator Michael Brown, who is perhaps an "independent Democrat" but is listed by the DC Democratic party as one of their own.

I actually posted nearly the exact same list a few pages back, though I completely forgot about Jon Bel Edwards.

I believe Rep. Yvette Clarke (NY) and Rep. Alan Grayson (FL) have endorsed Hillary, as well.

I would bet that JBE will never endorse anyone, even in the general.

She is moderately well-known in pro-life circles.  She was a PP employee who "saw the light" after seeing an ultrasound and became a huge pro-life and anti-PP spokeswoman.

Excellent Endorsement! Now Trump can smash Rubio as a fan of Obamacare!

Honestly, if there is a Rubio upset on Tuesday in the Deep South it will be right here in Tennessee.  The biggest rally of his campaign, the endorsement of an ultra-popular governor, and the ideologically conservative wealthy people in Knoxville and Nashville make it a possible surprise.

I actually agree with that - Tennessee is his best shot at a Super Tuesday win.

I would say Minnesota is his best shot, then Virginia, and then Tennessee, but I was just talking about the Deep South states.  Since TN is proportional (as long as you're between 20-66%, it doesn't matter that much, though).

By CD, however:

TN-01: Tossup (Rubio-Trump)
TN-02: Lean Rubio
TN-03: Lean Trump
TN-04: Likely Trump (2nd is probably Cruz, not Rubio)
TN-05: Likely Rubio
TN-06: Likely Trump (Rubio and Cruz in close race for 2nd)
TN-07: Tossup (Rubio-Trump-Cruz)
TN-08: Lean Trump
TN-09: Tossup (Rubio-Trump)

Urban Meyer for Kasich!

For those who are not college football fans, Meyer is the Ohio State football coach. Ohio State University (student body around 65,000) is the largest college in OH and the third largest in the US (and yes, this is a BIG endorsement in OH)!

http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/eye-on-college-football/25511512/watch-ohio-state-coach-urban-meyer-endorses-john-kasich-for-president


I might be a bigger college football nut than political nut, and that endorsement is huge in Ohio (but, I do hate Ohio State because they represent the SEC's main antagonist).

Rep Renee Elmers endorses Trump, becoming the First woman in Congress to Endorse Trump.

http://myfox8.com/2016/03/22/renee-ellmers-becomes-first-woman-in-congress-to-endorse-donald-trump/

Too bad she probably won't win reelection thanks to redistricting, which puts her against fellow Rep. George Holding who secured the endorsement of the NRLC thanks to Elmers, as they put it, "sabotaging a major piece of legislation to ban abortion after 20 weeks."

How often does the National Right to Life step into a Republican primary?  Maybe they can endorse Cruz over Trump??

I'm actually good friends with the President of the Columbia CRs.  I just asked him about what he actually said.

He basically just said that (while the name on it isn't my friend's name), he knew about the article and physically posted it, so the article is pretty much directly from him.  Sorry that I don't have some crazy other side of the story to report!!

I think Ribble is the only person of note so far that has endorsed three different candidates (Walker, Rubio, now Cruz.)

Lindsey Graham? Himself-Jeb-Cruz

Because Ryan is much more conservative than Kasich and is palatable to my group of the GOP, while we have reservations about Kasich.
