They tried, but it sounds like it isn't happening.

Critics of Maine Gov. Paul LePage have failed to muster enough support to require a vote on an independent investigation that could have led to impeachment over his alleged abuse of power.

Instead, House lawmakers voted 96 to 52 to indefinitely postpone debate after Republican leader Ken Fredette introduced a motion to pre-empt any action on the impeachment order.

I hope Trump crushes Cruz tonight, Canadian Cruz talking about new york values.....

but i don't think Trump does that well in debates, even his attacks on Jeb aren't pointed, they're " you're bad and you should feel bad" levels of thought.

There are 1,689 districts in Iowa. Based on their turnout in the last two primaries plus some other factors (whether they have a Democrat in the state legislature, etc), they are awarded an amount of delegates. When the caucus begins, everyone goes to the caucus centre for their district. They have iirc an hour to give speeches in favour of their candidate, to try and persuade people to join them. At the end, everyone casts a vote. The distribution of delegates which most closely matches that vote is sent on to the county caucus. The same thing happens again, with the delegates from the precincts now doing a new caucus at county level, which then produces the final result, in state delegates.

In 2008, Clinton won less district delegates than Edwards, but had a more even distribution, so finished with one more state delegate. It's quite possible and even probable at this right she could do the same to Sanders, who is unevenly distributed across Iowa.

Ah. Thank you for the explanations. This was always something I could never grasp my mind around throughout the years. Very much appreciated!!

Lowered expectations are a blessing in disguise for Jeb Bush

Reports of Jeb Bush’s political death may be greatly exaggerated. Not only is Bush essentially locked in a statistical tie for second place in New Hampshire, depending on which poll you prefer, but he’s also enjoying the benefits of being largely ignored by the media.

The milieu of lowered expectations can sometimes be a gift — and so it is proving for Bush. While Americans, and especially the media, have been riveted by Barnum & Bailey’s last elephant act featuring Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Bush has been quietly meeting with small groups in town halls in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Jeb's favorables are the worst in the entire race, he has no chance of gaining traction. Every Republican already knows about him and hates him. I want him to win the nomination, but he has no chance.

Hillary's hype video for the GOP debate tonight is pretty good:

Jeb's purpose at this point is to damage Rubio enough to give Trump an easy NH win.

Trump is sure talking a lot about U.S. sailors being arrested for like a day for doing a shitty job navigating and violating Iran's space. Does anyone other than Republican politicians and Neocon journalists care about this story now?

Just to confirm, ladies and gentlemen, your three Republican frontrunners are Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Ben Carson. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is struggling against a 74-year-old Jewish socialist from Vermont.

The year is 20XX, the future is here.

Struggling? You mean not squashing as immediately as some people expected. There's no struggle.
