It would be a lot bigger if it were Warren instead of Clinton. Hillary will have been a national public figure for about 25 years come election time - I don't think there are too many voters that have no opinion of her either way but would also go to the polls and vote Clinton simply for the sake of history. Nor are there many voters who would overlook what they don't like about her just because she's a woman. The vast majority of people who would cite her gender as the main factor for their vote were probably going to vote the Democratic candidate anyway.

Assuming they were going to vote at all, of course.

There's no way the opportunity to vote for the first woman president isn't going to draw out a non-trivial number of people who wouldn't have bothered otherwise

Yeah, that's what I mean. People who might vote for her because she's a woman were likely to be Democrat supporters already but that doesn't mean they'd have bothered to vote.

It's per 100,000 people, so it's going to be skewed to show outsized emphasis in small population states. That's like 100 people in the entire state of Vermont, for example, which just means there are at least 100 people in the state who vacation.

Also Vermont is whiter than <insert other state>.

I think it's terrible.

Trump was a pitchman for steaks that some people didn't like. That's it?

Give me a loving break. The man called Mexicans rapists, wants to ban Muslims from America and god knows what else, but yo, "his steaks weren't all that!" is what you're gonna hit him with?

Because it makes him look like a lovely salesman on a 3AM infomercial.

Calling Trump a racist or a liar isn't going to convince someone who is on the fence; the point is to go after his image.

Has there ever been a time in the US where a candidate has won the nomination but drops out before the election?

What happens if that did happen? Does the party get to quickly add someone else to the ballot? If the ballots are printed, could the dropped out candidate still win?

In 2000 the sitting Senator for Missouri, John Ashcroft, lost to a dead person.

Before the Palin endorsement everyone was expecting Cruz to win Iowa anyways. This isn't some huge election shaking upset that just happened. Funny to see that Palin is politically irrelevant amongst the GOP. Her endorsement is neutral at best.

The birther stuff shock the poll numbers around a lot. The result doesn't require fundamentally rethinking presidential politics, but it does change how you view Trump's chances.

Why does a private citizen like Trump have Secret Service protection anyway? I was under the impression candidates only got official protection after winning the nomination, and Obama getting it was a one-off in '08 when he was frontrunner at the request of political colleagues and fear of racist crazies doing something extreme.

Nah, it happened before and after Obama too. Kerry had it in 2004 (even before the nomination), and Sanders, Clinton and Carson all have it at the moment too.

How would anything other than Vermont and MAYBE Virginia been in play for Rubio without Kasich?

Without him Rubio would probably have been over the threshold in Alabama (and maybe Texas), and Mass would have looked like a contest (50-40) rather than a walkover (50-20-20).

The thresholds really hurt Rubio tonight, and he got a lot fewer delegates than his vote % would suggest.

So unless they change the rules about having to win the majority in eight states for your delegates to count and be eligible for Republican nom, is Trump and Cruz going to be the only choices?

What happens to Rubio's delegates in that situation? Are they redistributed? Not counted? Does that lower the threshold for winning outright?

Varies from state to state I think (and possibly within some states).
