Does Rick Perry Deserve to be on the Debate Stage?

· 50 Comments

Ann Selzer uses her “Selzer Score” to determine the top 10 candidates in the GOP field and finds Rick Perry makes it into the top 10, replacing John Kasich.

The index takes into account first and second choices, as well as a question on whether respondents could ever – or would never – support each candidate they didn’t name as their first or second pick.

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
