Fun fairly pointless factoid- The reason no-one is polling in Nevada is because last time the Caucus had a turnout of around 10,000 people. In the state.
It makes it... very hard to get a clear picture, and pretty annoying for predictions. That's why everyone is paying attention to South Carolina instead.

Do you know what would really shake-up the status quo? Voting for people who didn't want to block everything, and wanted to work with others, including their opponents, instead.
It's the daily mail aka the daily fail. It's a British tabloid known to make stuff up sometimes or exaggerating details something that happened to sell more copies (The list of things the Daily Mail has said will give you cancer. Include 'being a man,' 'being a woman,' 'babies,' 'bagels,' artificial light, candle light, tv, money...).
In general, if you see a Daily Mail Article... well, it could be real, but you should double check other sources/take it with a huge grain of salt.
Biggest South Carolina ad spenders:
Team Bush $12.8M
Team Rubio $11.1M
Team Cruz $8.1M
Team Trump $1.3M
Team Sanders $878K
Team Clinton $712K
Bush, Rubio, and Cruz are really pouring it on (Trump is obviously holding back because, well, he doesn't need to, he's going to win and his opponents are shooting at each other a ton).
Meanwhile, Sanders is outspending Clinton on the D side, which is unexpected.

They more scream 'trying to catch up/gain control of their lane.'
I mean, remember, Trump *can* outspend everyone if he wants to (both parties combined even), but he's the lowest of the four Republicans on the list.
Sanders could spend that much if *he* wanted to, he's got enough for it, but he knows he needs a longer race to win so using up his money now is bad, while Rubio and Bush are fighting to gain legitimacy as candidate which they need to do ASAP, and then once they've done rely on future fundraising. Bernie wants to do well in South Carolina, he's just not as in desperate straights. If he was in a position where he needed to try and money-hammer in SC, then he's not in a good position anyway.
Okay, the second thing is ridiculous. But the first I agree with generally, if these people say that women should vote for Hillary solely because she's a woman that's stupid. And things like what Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem said are sexist, particular aimed at younger women. However, considering race and gender as one of the factors makes sense, because the race and gender of a candidate alone has consequences, and factoring that in does make sense.

I disagree, if you're voting based solely on race or gender you don't deserve to vote, you don't help the country that way, you hurt it. Either be part of the solution or remove yourself from the equation all together and let the real grown ups vote.
