    1. Crow? Humble pie?

      No way. He'll Rubio it. When you've been showering money on consultants telling you how to win, they're not going to let you stop trying. "There's still a path, Senator! We just need to advertise more in California!" sez the guy who gets 15 percent of all the ad billing.

        1. Hedge fund zillionaire Paul Singer, who's apparently dumb enough to believe Cruz could win the nomination and/or presidency, is probably dumb enough to keep funding the thing. "If you're so rich," you want to ask him, "why aren't you smart?"

      1. My god there's a lot of good stuff out there. Just checked the county map and saw that one of the two near Fort Wayne that had been Cruz-leaning switched back to Drumpf. Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!

        1. There's: "Ted Cruz is a Creepy Porcelain Doll," "Ted Cruz is a Dick," "Ted Cruz has a Stupid Face," – god bless the Internet.

  1. Apropos of nothing, I'm listening to Jennifer Warnes sing "The Singer Must Die" from her "Famous Blue Raincoat" album, and wow, is it [good.]

  2. 33% in, Sanders up 51.6-48.4. He seems to be in pretty good shape, though if that Marion County vote in so far is mostly suburbs it'll be right down to the wire.

    If you are a Clinton supporter, you are looking for: Lake County to actually come in, and that marion county is reporting white areas.

    If you are a Sanders supporter, you are looking forward to Tippecanoe, and hoping that the margins in Lake are like Marion.

    Actually, Now that Sanders has taken Allen, that will be enough to make the call. We are officially calling Indiana for Bernie Sanders.

    Ugh, I thought I had another month to write my 'here's all i got wrong about trump' piece

    John Kasich is like that guy who shows up to a party bringing some decent pretzels but only leaves once the hosts lock him outside

  7. @DKElections

    Richard Schweiker: 24 days
    Thomas Eagleton: 18 days
    Carly Fiorina: 7 days

    Congratulations, Carly, on the shortest VP run in history!

  8. Nicolle Wallace is spinning this as good for the Republican Party. No wonder she can't get political work anymore.

    Oh yeah, she also sold out McCain and Palin in that book Game Change. As did Steve Schmidt who, oddly enough, is also on MSNBC.

      1. Gawker:
        Just hours before, an exasperated Cruz warned that “this country could well plunge into the abyss” if Indiana “does not act.” Unfortunately for Cruz, Indiana overwhelming chose the abyss.

    1. That makes me happy. I'll be delighted to vote for Hillz in the fall, but do like just one more slight push to the left. Perhaps this will help here find somebody to grab a Veep the attention of the younger Bernie voters instead of somebody like Tim Kaine. Nice enough guy, safe, but boring.

      1. Hillz will do a highly competent job of catering to all her constituencies. My only concern is that one of them is the War Oligarchs.

        1. Being a person possessing lady parts, if she didn't sound hawkish she wouldn't be taken seriously by the Serious People. She HAS to position herself as a hawk. Maybe she really is a hawk, maybe she will be less hawkish in office than she poses as now. But she's a politician, she has to be political and play against people's perception of her.

  9. Sorry for the sudden lack of updates from my end, I'm stuck in the most annoying political debate ever and I just heard someone say changing your mind is wrong AND changing your mind is good within two minutes

  10. Dag, I just got my 1,000 "Cruz/Fiorina '16" bumper stickers in the mail today!

    I guess I better get out my Sharpie — Cruz/Fiorina '16 '20

  11. Full Frontal ‏@FullFrontalSamB

    Shouldn't #TedCruz have been forced to carry his unviable campaign to term?

  12. I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but I think that God has a sick sense of humour….
