| Ted Cruz’s hail Mary pass in picking a former California senate candidate as his potential running mate isn’t making the splash he was likely hoping for in the Golden State. | |

Ohio governor John Kasich is currently at the bottom of the three-man dogpile with the support of a mere 16% of California Republicans. | |
| As for the Democrats, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton currently leads among registered Democrats with 57%, with Vermont senator Bernie Sanders nearly 20 points behind at 38%. | |

| Calling the race to win a majority of pledged delegates ahead of the convention “admittedly a tough hill to climb,” Sanders’ campaign tells supporters that “winning Indiana tomorrow night would not only cut into Secretary Clinton’s lead, but it would send a powerful message to the political establishment and corporate media who just want this race to end so they can get on with the ratings and fundraising bonanza that would be a Clinton v. Trump general election. | Calling the race to win a majority of pledged delegates ahead of the convention “admittedly a tough hill to climb,” Sanders’ campaign tells supporters that “winning Indiana tomorrow night would not only cut into Secretary Clinton’s lead, but it would send a powerful message to the political establishment and corporate media who just want this race to end so they can get on with the ratings and fundraising bonanza that would be a Clinton v.

| After asking for donations to help this upset occur, Sanders’ campaign makes an interesting argument about its ability to keep Clinton from clinching a pledged-delegate majority (although, perhaps, not a highly accurate one): | After asking for donations to help this upset occur, Sanders’ campaign makes an interesting argument about its ability to keep Clinton from clinching a pledged-delegate majority (although, perhaps, not a highly accurate one): |
| Let’s be clear. It is virtually impossible for Secretary Clinton to win all of the pledged delegates she needs to capture the nomination without the help of superdelegates at the convention. That means every vote we receive, every delegate we win between now and July strengthens our hand as we get to a contested convention. | Let’s be clear.

| An attempt by the New Hampshire Republican party to limit Donald Trump’s influence in a potential contested convention was halted Monday, when the state chair canceled a controversial online vote for positions on crucial committees just minutes after the voting deadline, writes Guardian politics reporter Ben Jacobs: | An attempt by the New Hampshire Republican party to limit Donald Trump’s influence in a potential contested convention was halted Monday, when the state chair canceled a controversial online vote for positions on crucial committees just minutes after the voting deadline, writes Guardian politics reporter Ben Jacobs: |
| In an email obtained by the Guardian, party chair Jennifer Horn said that although all 23 of the state’s delegates to the Republican National Convention participated in the vote, she was canceling it “in the interest of full transparency”. Instead, she summoned a delegates-only meeting in Concord on Friday where those unable to attend could participate via conference call. | In an email obtained by the Guardian, party chair Jennifer Horn said that although all 23 of the state’s delegates to the Republican National Convention participated in the vote, she was canceling it “in the interest of full transparency”.

| Initially, in an email sent out Saturday night, the state party’s executive director proposed a slate for the eight slots on convention committees reserved for New Hampshire delegates at the Republican gathering in Cleveland in July. The proposed slate included two supporters apiece of John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz and one supporter of Marco Rubio. The eighth slot was left vacant. | Initially, in an email sent out Saturday night, the state party’s executive director proposed a slate for the eight slots on convention committees reserved for New Hampshire delegates at the Republican gathering in Cleveland in July.

| Trump won overwhelmingly in the Granite State’s February primary, with 35% of the vote. His nearest competitor, John Kasich, only received 15% in what was then the first primary in the country. Under New Hampshire’s relatively proportional rules, by which any candidate who gets more than 10% of the vote receives delegates, Trump was awarded 11 of the state’s 23 delegates. | Trump won overwhelmingly in the Granite State’s February primary, with 35% of the vote.
