Political pundits are calling on Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, the new favorite among the GOP establishment, to publicly offer Kasich the VP spot on his ticket.

If Bernie Sanders’ political revolution is going anywhere on Super Tuesday, it will have to be in states like Massachusetts, where he has a demographic advantage. “There are several states on Super Tuesday that have largely white electorates, including Massachusetts, which on paper is similar to New Hampshire, where Sanders cruised to victory,” said Kyle Kondik of UVA’s Center for Politics.
"Trump, amazingly, is in a commanding position to become the Republican presidential nominee," said Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics. "If someone is going to beat Trump, then Rubio probably has the best shot, but the hour is growing late. He can’t keep on finishing second or third. You have to start winning, but where?"
UVA researchers have finished what is believed to be the largest and most comprehensive review of the human genome in order to identify genes that predispose people to a certain type of stroke.
New research suggests that in addition to mental angst, shaky finances can result in a person feeling more physical pain than those who feel financially secure. “Overall, our findings reveal that it physically hurts to be economically insecure,” said UVA researcher and lead study author Eileen Chou.

That Bronco Mendenhall now is UVA’s head football coach can be credited to a number of factors. Virginia craves a winning program, he said, “but not at the expense of doing it the right way. That was the exact principles I operated on at BYU.”
Larry Sabato, director of UVA’s Center for Politics, says it is “absurd that people would even compare” Sanders in 2016 to Obama in 2008. “Bernie Sanders is no Barack Obama,” Sabato said.
Hampton attorney Verbena Askew’s two jobs have two experts in legal ethics questioning whether she has a conflict of interest. George Cohen, a professor at UVA’s School of Law, said, “It’s one step removed, but still there is certainly a possibility of a conflict of interest.”

Donald Trump’s run at the Republican presidential nomination appeared to get stronger Saturday night with a victory in South Carolina’s GOP primary. ”Nothing new here.
