Note: Colorado yellow is actually Hickenlooper
We're getting torn apart in a few of our Super Tuesday targets - namely Minnesota, Colorado, and Tennessee, so I think it's time we started trying to come back from the bottom of the pack in Ohio as we're the only Dem candidate not to put any effort into it, and if we win the nomination, we'll need to have presence there anyway.

2 Power Paul Ryan takes Nevada
+5 Momentum in Michigan
Poor Jeb. So close to getting those delegates and putting himself in a stronger position, but it just wasn't meant to be. Peter King was the worst in-race candidate at 1.7%
DAYYYYYUM! Okay, that was predicted in the last map, but it's just more and more grist for Ventura.
Hickenlooper's withdrawing and endorsing will probably kill any chance we had at getting of Colorado, as he was polling 14.9% there, which was second only to Cuomo's 16% and with Hillary at 11.2% and already carrying momentum, well...
We're surprisingly in play in Oklahoma, so we'll add it to target state.

I am disappoint we didn't get a Clinton meltdown, but she had -1 is all. Boo. We had a negative interview on Hardball which was a minor news story. Double boo.

Forgot to note the power of the win, but it's Sarah Palin at the bottom of those still in with 4.2%.
Nice steal by Ryan here to slow Christie down a bit. McDonnell is on the bottom of those in with 4.5%.
The Libertarian candidates trade blowout wins.
We had a bad interview on the Jay Leno and that's twice now we've had 70+ % chance of success and blown it.
Want to see the effect of all those endorsements for Christie?
1144 delegates is what's needed for a majority, and right now it's shaping that Christie's going to run away with it. On the Democratic side, Hillary needs 2761 delegates for the majority and she's projected to get 2704 at the moment, or *just* enough to force a convention fight.
The grim news - after initially looking like she was going to get finished off on Super Tuesday, Hillary now projects to have an even better showing than we do.

3 Power Republicans ahead of Democrats in Polls
Our scandal research refuses to budge past 1%, and I'm not sure how to raise it. We do now have a 6 power attack ad on Clinton for the US that we'll put in the arsenal for Super Tuesday week.
IMO it's just a matter of form until Christie is made the nominee for the Republicans. He's got double the lead of Rubio nationally with 26.4% and has momentum to boot.
