The big story coming out of New Hampshire, arguably: Ted Cruz finishing third with a financial outlay of just $580,000, which easily was the best ROI for votes for any candidate in either primary. Cruz, dismissed by the media after his Iowa victory, and his third-place finish in New Hampshire, is in the game for the […]

A new 30-second television ad from NARAL Pro-Choice America blasts Marco Rubio for what the abortion rights group calls his “extreme and out-of-touch stance on abortion.” “While Senator Rubio’s legislative record may be thin, his priorities are crystal clear,” said Joel Foster, national political director of NARAL Pro-Choice America. “He’d deny abortion to all Americans, even […]

Marco Rubio vows that he will never allow what happened to him in Saturday night’s GOP debate to happen again. “I want you to understand something,” he told the crowd of disappointed supporters at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire, Tuesday night. “Our disappointment tonight is not on you; it’s on me.

So much for “Marcomentum.” Eight days ago, the national media, with some justification, was spreading the word that Marco Rubio was the unexpected star of the Iowa caucus, despite the fact that he received fewer votes than Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Rubio began rising in the polls in New Hampshire, and it seemed that […]

Donald Trump nailed down a solid first electoral win in New Hampshire’s presidential primary Tuesday, demonstrating his unorthodox campaign can translate large crowds at rambunctious rallies into the votes that determine delegates. His Republican rivals pinned their hopes on a strong second-place finish, looking to break from the pack and ensure the survival of their […]

(UPDATE) Marco Rubio will continue his presidential campaign into South Carolina after New Hampshire –just not all three events he had scheduled.

That’s because he wants […]
