The red segments are larger and should have been labeled 47%/48% drop out.

Start a polling organization that polls corporations.
Sure would be a lot harder for the bought and paid for to hide!

Is it me not understanding?

Or should the numbers 48% and 47% be on the red slices, and the numbers 42% and 40% be on the green slices?
I am not trained in statistics, but that doesn't look right to me.



Edit: typos - my keyboard is not as responsive as it should be.

"He's a nice kid," said FSU President John Thrasher, who served with Rubio in Florida legislature. "I'm sure he's frustrated by his low standing in the polls, which I believe could be a reflection of where he got his education."

This graphic may not be a mistake

This is political awry that defines the Florida electorate. Imagine the Democratic America is enduring this carnival act for too long.

Any way you slice it those that elected the Bush Crime Inc. with Rubio in all its grandiosity are under the influence of the rare mental defect called basic stupid politics.

A unique brand of our time that reflects the typical conservative that isn’t a conservative, more liberal as libelers; their heads spin while their stories spin.

EarlG usually does not make a mistake like this. But, it shows how the Republicans tempt America by cutting taxes the wrong way and report to America. Or, building legislation that traps the ordinary citizen into bankruptcy while Bush Crime Inc. walks away in tax bailout money.

Or Bush Crime Inc. with his railroad connections in the Union Pacific is Building America, via Grandpa Prescott or his Dad Herbert Walker Bush collaborated with the Nazi, today George is friends and close business partners with the Bin Laden family gives complete certainty that will never deliver the truth. The real reason Syria is a mess.

All gives way to the Carny language of Republican backward politics. The weirdness of Bush Cheney politics is Argot. This is called cant language of Cheney and Bush always giving way to war and torture all the language of misery, while profiteering sacking the treasury while thousands of veterans commit suicide annually and beg on television for help.

The Republican of this age are more than shameful they are bandits that need a bounty.

it would be very unwise for either of them to drop out this early.

With so many candidates and three leaders in Iowa who may all flame out, this is a wide open race. 2012 was unprecedented -- every week a new leader until it was finally Romney.

Each time another candidate drops out, their votes will go to someone else. Whoever benefits the most is likely to win the nomination.

When Ross Perot dropped out in 1992, almost all his supporters went to Clinton, which is why he won the nomination, but that was not widely predicted. It's almost like whoever wins will be an accident.

No winning Presidential candidate in the last 120 years became POTUS without winning his home state.

I think when the hot coals go out, and as long as he can raise money.. Kasich will be the nominee. He's about the only one with any brains and who isn't all super ignorant. Sure he is no Bernie Sanders, but at least he isn't the GOP's ass clown.
