He's always had Bush, Walker, and Rubio in the first tier, but has now added Ted Cruz and John Kasich. He calls this "The Real Contenders"
Donald Trump got his own category. Second Tier "Unominatable Frontrunner"
Everyone else is the Third Tier, or TTT using law school application terminology.
But the bigger news appears that Sabato took down his Democratic ratings. I can't find a link. They've had Hillary listed as the undisputed frontrunner and Sanders as the emerging challenger, Biden as a wildcard and gadflies for everyone else. I think he thinks the legal issues or going to derail Hillary.
Ping!
Kasich?
I prefer not to live in North mexico.

Yeah, I’ll move to the Philippines first.
Haven’t trusted Sabato since he helped derail George Allen governor hopes with racism accusations
This election is all new.
This election is all about Trump!
Walker & Cruz are fine, my gut feeling is that Walker will be the palatable to both sides. Kasich = Amnesty & that formula won’t sell.
I don't know. vet, it just doesn't seem Heavenly enough to me.
They clearly don't have enough neon orange glowing water courtesy of the EPA. It probably also has an extreme shortage of illegal alien pandering GOPE morons too...
Good God, look at that water! I would move there in a split second and never look back! Spend the rest of my life swimming and boating.
Sleep Walker is as dull a man as I’ve ever seen.
Several FReepers live on a beach like that and pay rent that would make you think it’s 1967 again.
So what, have the (pro-amnesty) Koch brothers swapped out Rand Paul for John Kasich?

Walker is not a dull man. He is a firecracker when it comes to actually doing something and saying what he means and doing it. He was fearless in Wisconsin.
It is getting very old and tired how some Freepers keep running down Scott Walker. He is still number one in my book with Cruz a strong second.
AFAIK, no son of a mailman has ever been POTUS. That rules Kasich out. /sarcasm
He puts me to sleep.
Sorry, but that’s my opinion of him.
I’d be ok with Walker, but he has the personality of a pair of dirty socks.
Yeah, but he’s still a fighter .. and that is a great quality.
Agreed. Walker is dull, Cruz odd looking apparently, etc. There is no Reagan.
Cruz yes.
Kasich no.
I do agree that Cruz is odd looking. I don’t know how that is going to play, but I still love the man, because I believe he is a honest man and a real conservative.
