A new statewide poll gives Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton double-digit leads in the lead up to the Arizona’s March 22 presidential primaries.

...................


Arizona pollster Bruce Merrill conducted the survey along with Phoenix-based Westgroup Research.

Among Republicans, Trump leads with 31 percent. The business mogul has led in other Arizona surveys.

......................

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has a 50 percent to 24 percent lead on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with another 26 percent undecided.

Sanders needs to do well in today’s contests to keep within striking distance of Clinton..................:

[riversedge]

25. Yes, cheezeheads will do the right thing when the time comes:-)

[Still In Wisconsin]

26. Very true. Plus, I still have Feingold to vote for,

But I do hereby promise to shut my mouth about the Presidential election. Nothing to be gained.

Supreme Court Nomination Drives Groups From Left and Right to Fight

By ERIC LIPTON


MARCH 16, 2016


....WASHINGTON — More than 100 protest rallies are being scheduled in key electoral states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Iowa. Television advertisements are being scripted. Twitter and Facebook campaigns are rolling out, and email blasts are filling up inboxes.

With the nomination of Merrick B. Garland on Wednesday by President Obama to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, advocacy groups from the left and the right are now fully engaged in what both sides agree will be a highly contentious Supreme Court nomination fight — even if Mr. Garland never gets so much as a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing..........



On the left, environmental, gay rights, women’s rights and civil rights groups, as well as labor unions and grass-roots organizers like Credo and MoveOn.org have teamed up. With regular conference calls and meetings organized by top former Obama aides and consulting firms, they are preparing to blast a single message to the Senate nationwide: #DoYourJob....................

[Still In Wisconsin]

33. Good! Losing Feingold six years ago was as big an embarrassment as electing Walker three times.

Go Badgers, and go Russ. Would have loved to see him as Governor.

[riversedge]

35. I still have a Feingold sticker on my old beater.

[Still In Wisconsin]

36. Me too, and an Obama '08 one next to it.

[riversedge]

37. kindred souls.

[bkkyosemite]

28. Only in the end they may be the losers

[DCBob]

20. Wow.

I figured she would do well there but that much bigger than I had expected.

[riversedge]

21. I honestly had no idea but would love this poll to hold and for

the undecideds to move to Hillary. I want them all. ha ha

[Beacool]

23. Finally a current poll in AZ.

But there are still a lot of undecided voters. There's still work to do.

[riversedge]

31. Today the Sanders camp says they expect to do well in AZ....

....Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is determined to continue his campaign despite losing at least four of the five states that voted on Tuesday.

Mr. Sanders’s campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, and his senior campaign adviser, Tad Devine, spoke to reporters on Wednesday afternoon and said that Mr. Sanders could make up Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead. They added that Mr. Sanders expected to do well in the coming elections in Arizona, Idaho, New York, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin...............

29. More good news. K & R nt

[okasha]

34. I suspect Bernie understands Western culture

any more than he understands Southern. Nor only will Jane Sanders' little social call on Joe Arpaio not go well with Hispanics, but pointing your finget and yelling is hideously bad manners among Native Americans.
