LePage told radio host Howie Carr that his two daughters were born in Canada, and they had to be naturalized as U.S. citizens even though he was born in America.
More reaction from Cruz backers:

Right now Romney is doing Trumps a favor and giving him much needed momentum by making himself the face of opposition

Romney's brand of milquetoast politics will do nothing to harm Trump. Nothing.
And Trump's campaign knows it:

JUST IN: Top Trump aide thanks Romney for "incredible endorsement" http://hill.cm/RV0TSOT
My assumption that Romney attacking Trump helps Trump by channeling Cruz voters to Trump appears to be true.
This is the best news that Trump had this week so far.
If Trump survives the Fox debate tonight he is on auto pilot to the nomination, thanks to Romney.
It's like Tony Blair saying to Labour voters don't vote Corbyn.
Should I take the 80/1 on Betfair on Romney as the GOP nominee?

Kasich has just plummeted on Betfair.
Any ideas why ?
Dunno - but I've just laid him at 26 with Betfair and backed him at 51 with both Stan James and Wm Hill, with both severely limiting my stakes.
As this NY Times article http://nyti.ms/1WWdyIp says, the easiest way to get on the ballot across the nation could be to be the nominee of the Libetarian or Constiutional parties.
A candidate from the right of the GOP could be more likely to come to an arrangement with those parties.
On that basis what about Ben Sasse? He's a Nebraska senator who's been vocal in opposing Trump.
I think he comes across well in this video of him reading out mean tweets from Trump supporters http://on.fb.me/1Qu6rGB

The footballer who has been convicted is iirc on bail awaiting sentencing.
Does the time on bail post conviction count towards time served of any sentence?
Someone in the pub is saying it does, seems a bit odd to me if it does.
It is true that he has a bit of a challenge this next week with most contests being caucuses and closed primaries, where he's not done so well. That could create a media narrative that runs against him. That will make for a good time to back him
Because the fundamental point remains and is this: he has a 25% lead over the field in the national polls.
It is possible that Rubio might beat him in Florida (though is a long way from it at the moment), it is possible that Kasich might beat him in Ohio (though Trump leads there too, just), it is possible that Cruz might win more states.
But overall, Trump will win far more delegates and far more states. No one will be able to beat him and the convention will look horribly rigged if it goes any other way in the unlikely event that it ends up without an outright winner.
Looking at the available evidence, Adam Johnson wasn't remanded on bail with HDC
DYOR
So is Kasich for that matter.

No idea if he is as you say not subject to such a condition
They'd get 269/1 if they figured out a way to access Betfair.
I'm not saying backing him is a good bet, it's just frustrating when people blindly take such obviously crap odds.
I admire the chaps that wear it 24/7 for months.
It's not me laying that 269/1 btw - I'm not really prepared to lay my Romney green above 100/1 right now.
1% sounds about right to me.
Until about 24 hours ago, Remain was about 1.43.
Started tightening last night and now all the way in to 1.34.
That's a big move.
Any explanation? I can't see any comment on here.
We might be due a poll tonight.

Now nobody suggest he is out of touch...has anybody told him Glastonbury hasn't relocated across the channel this year.
Is it just me or does it seem like you can't claim you a somebody until you have spent a day or two wandering around the jungle taking selfies on your iPhone?
Cruz needs to go in hard in Florida, needs to get the bartender's son out the race.
Or maybe I'm overthinking this and they just feel much the same way TSE does about him.
Brussels officials said despite the obvious dangers of giving taxpayers’ money directly to those in refugee camps to spend as they wish it would help them ‘maintain their dignity’.

Looks like the EU have been taking advice from Kids Company / Batwoman on how to run a successful operation.
Tommy Sheridan has pledged to put forward an 'Indyref Bill' within his first 3 months as an MSP if he is elected in May #SP16
F1: not been paying as much attention as before to testing (got pre-release Sir Edric stuff to work on). Not seen, from the little attention I've paid, much to alter my view from the first test, though.
Who is going to make the case for REMAIN? Zoe of course, but John McDonnell?
Might be worth watching for a cat fight between Louise & Zoe.
Also how will the cerebral Dominic Raab handle a live audience - also worth watching?
Is Jermaine in the wrong studio? I may be misjudging.
I am presuming it is 4:1 on Remain vs Stay.
So that Betfair movement must be something else
Trump: I ruined my carpet endorsing Romney.
Wait until the news of free cash handouts works it's way to the start of the smuggling line.
