Today is do or die day for Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Bernie Sanders, who are fighting to keep their White House hopes alive.

Many are voting strategically this time in hopes of altering the outcome of the presidential race by voting for someone other than their favorite candidate in the primaries. Does this sound confusing? Check back in a few hours and lets try this again.

Most states have awarded delegates on a proportional basis so far. But that changes in an effort to help a front-runner and hinder those falling behind.

Stupor is defined as a state of near-unconsciousness or insensibility. A daze, or state of unconsciousness, insensibility, oblivion?

Beginning next week, many states will award delegates on a winner-take-all basis. No one has to win half the vote to get all the delegates in upcoming states; they can do so with the type of percentages which have been rolled up so far.

The great state of Ohio voters are key, but folks in Florida, Illinois, Missouri and North Carolina could also determine the future of the race for Democrats and Republicans.
