CW's colorful and apt phrase "political life support" suggests the "Vatican" method could be helpful: tap the moribund on their heads with a small silver hammer. No response, proceed with final rest protocols.

Is there an anthropomorphic Political Death, like the Grim Reaper? The Grim Pollster?
The Grim Huffpollster?

The "smarter" Bush needs to dumb down his campaign to appeal to Republicans apparently... or... and this is scary... maybe Shrub is the smarter one. BTW, CW. Why is it we haven't heard any reports about any of the Repubs latest quarter results for fundraising or cash on hand? Is there a story in there they're trying to hide? Thanks A Hey CW

BTW, CW.

Just one discrepancy,and it's admittedly a big one; Rubio is still flat in the polls, but he has rocked up in the futures markets. But hey, 4 out of 5 ain't too shabby! No Market-Poll convergence on the rankings yet, but I'd say wait for it. At least one poll shows Trump in second place, just behind behind Carson of all contenders, who seems to be slipping himself. "The real fight in the upcoming weeks -- and, likely, in the next debate -- will be between Bush and Rubio." I could not agree more! :-) "If I were in charge of setting the rules for the next GOP debate, I'd limit the stage to the top six" Poll pressure says 6, but the markets say just 5, less Cruz.
