That Rubio surge is coming annnnny minute now.

In fairness, he's only two points behind Kasich and Cruz in a poll with a margin of error of 4.8 percent, so he's effectively tied for second. On the other hand, how many Rubio fans are excited to find him battling John Effin' Kasich for center-right votes less than a month from primary day?

I think it was Rubio’s skewed hairpiece that did it.

That and the chick booties. Have you ever wondered whatever happened to Dondi?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Interesting. In one sense, Kasich moving up makes sense. On paper, he has one of the best resumes of any candidate — Chairman of the House Budget Committee during the Gingrich years, governor of a swing state. So at a superficial level, I can see why Kasich should be a serious player. I never understood why Kasich went off the rails into RINO-ism. If he presented a high profile conservative platform as governor and stuck with it as a candidate, he might have been at the top of the polls.

Polls are varying pretty significantly for this state. I think in 4 weeks anything could happen. Plus I do not trust polls in general.

Kasich? The same guy who has no problem with Obama’s Iran treaty?

[Kenny]

AAARGH! I’d rather have Carly than Kasich, he’s a snake.

I lived in Iowa from 1974 (9th grade) to 2002. My sources tell me that Cruz is winning. Period.

This has to be a FAKE poll - this son of a mailman has as much chance of taking the WH as John McLettuce had.

[Sirius Lee]

Period.

Elipsis...

NH is really wonky sometimes-

[demshateGod]

With Rubio and Kasich polling so high in NH, I just don’t think they represent the people who will end up picking the nominee.

Sometimes?

I hope that turns out to be true.

[ilgipper]

Exactly. Was a big fan until he discovered God wanted us to have more medicaid dependents. Now, he’s just nonsensical and condescending when he speaks.

Good observation. Kasich could've been Scott Walker, or example.

But he's chosen to be something else...
