According to some polling I just dug into, Scalia's legacy is so tarnished that he's only 4th in rankings among conservatives right now behind Trump, Gilmore, and Baby Hitler

How tall a candidate and their spouse are is a very important and under-reported area of politics.

Yeah, remember that poo poo like "extraordinary" doesn't have to have a positive connotation.

Watching Trump get pinned down on specifics of SCOTUS appointees with very little prep time is going to be as entertaining as listening to him try to explain the internet

Is it because of a history of people getting cut out at this point or stereotypes of southerners or what ?

Because the campaigning tends to be extremely nasty. The Bush 2000 campaign did anonymous push polls telling people McCain had an illegitimate black baby. The Clinton 2008 campaign used a bunch of dog whistles against Obama.

This woman on CBS news is talking about Scalia's influence on law and that the most important thing he did was "stick to his conservative principals".

it is because it brings ratfucking to a whole new level.

It is home to Strom Thurmond, who taught the art of it to Lee Atwater, who passed on his bag of terrible tricks to Karl Rove.

Between the long legacy of that and the high polarization along racial lines things are super loving ugly in that state.

Let's put it this way - the boyfriend of a Hillary staffer running a story in the WaPo claiming that the Sanders campaign faked the photo of him involved in the Civil Rights movement? That's loving tame as hell compared to what normally goes on in that state.

It is the lowest, nastiest, most personal politics you'll see.
