Longtime progressive political analyst Ruy Teixeira deconstructs the Democratic race while Arizona Republic columnist Robert Robb does a deep dive into the Grand Canyon State. All this plus the Ad of the Week, only on the Horse Race!

    Still can't decide if I like the podcast or not. Again felt too much time spent on what will happen - looking at polling, etc - rather than analysing what has happened. The best part is watching the ads and hearing the analysis. Agree with @Arahant that its a good ad - and I love the very subtle anti-gay jabs about decorative brick and colored lights. So subtle that I think they can get away with it.

    He's a smart guy. Just skip the parts about predictions. I generally dislike listening two election and electorate predictions.

    He cohosted two shows on Breitbart news tonight last week. It was really good.

    Not sure I understand these comments. All he's saying is "here's who I think is going to win NV and SC and here's why" like any sportscaster would about an upcoming game.

    Henry is a political prognosticator and we are in the midst of a Presidential election. Of course he is going to discuss the upcoming contests. That's why the show is called The Horse Race.

    One of the prior ones had a straight interview. I mean all of this generally, it's not some hard rule. I guess more to the point I only like listening to people that are really good at it and are professionals, which he is.
