Good article from Larry Sabato in Politico:
The 2016 Results We Can Already Predict - Larry J. Sabato and Kyle Kondik and Geoffrey Skelley - POLITICO Magazine
The GOP is probably starting off behind on electoral votes, so Sabato says: "...if Republicans lose either Florida or Ohio, the nominee has no realistic path to victory. Both states are typically at least slightly more Republican than the nation as a whole. If GOP voters are thinking strategically during the nominating process, they will pick a candidate with a profile appealing to Sunshine and Buckeye state residents.
If Sabato is correct, a Kasich/Rubio ticket would make a lot of sense. It also makes sense in other ways as well - experience, demographics, probably Tea-Party friendly.
A few hundred more interesting articles on the way between now and then, no doubt.
