In order from most recently announced, here are the announced candidates for the 2016 presidential election. - The long reintroduction of Hillary Clinton to the American public as a presidential candidate is getting to look like the coming-out of a wealthy and spoiled debutante.
- Attempting to push back on the idea that his presidential campaign is a nearly insurmountable long shot, Martin O'Malley arrived in New Hampshire on Sunday to sell himself as a fresh and progressive alternative to front-runner Hillary Clinton.
- MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Former governor turned presidential candidate Martin O'Malley tried to distance himself from his two main rivals for the Democratic nomination on Sunday, suggesting that he would be more free than front runner Hillary Clinton to rein in excesses on Wall Street.
- Hillary Clinton's lack of meaningful accomplishments may not play well with independents and swing voters.
- Times certainly have changed in the Republican Party. Gone are the times when patience was its own reward and loyal leading members would await their turn in the list of aspiring presidential candidates.
- The old adage that anyone can grow up to be president is being put to the test in this election cycle.
- Dr. Ben Carson, the retired Hopkins neurosurgeon who announced his presidential campaign this week, returned to Baltimore on Thursday to tell community leaders here that the way to relieve tensions with police and help impoverished neighborhoods is to fix the nation's economy.
- Ben Carson, the celebrated pediatric neurosurgeon who spent his career at Johns Hopkins Hospital before becoming a darling of conservative voters across the country, said Sunday that he will seek the Republican nomination for president next year.
- Only one presidential candidate voted for war with Iraq: Hillary Clinton.
- Underpinning the coverage of the Hillary Clinton email scandal is a double standard: She is being pilloried for email practices that are widely used throughout government from local school districts up to the federal level, from junior up to senior administrators and from many past as well as current officials.
- Ted Cruz is disregarding the general election by targeting the conservative right wing for the primary, says Jules Witcover.
- Ted Cruz is the first but won't be the last GOP contender for 2016; Democrats should demand the same diversity of choices for their nominee.
- Obviously, Jeb Bush has his strengths. He is a smart and capable man who is more than merely his last name. He may have skills and strategies (and certainly the money to augment them) that can compensate for his liabilities. But it seems obvious to me that the GOP needs a plausible "change" candidate, and so far, he's not it.
- Goldberg: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has what it takes to win the GOP nomination, but his timing may be off.
- Jeb Bush has a long way to go to win over the tea party crowd, says Jules Witcover.
- Maryland governor is taking a page from his fellow Republicans in his effort to use wedge issues against traditional Democratic supporters
- Republicans who refused to disavow Rudy Guiliani's bizarre statement about Obama showed themselves nothing but haters,

- Asking GOP politicians the evolution question is not about religion, but the culture war, says Jonah Goldberg.
- The GOP "establishment" is scrambling for money from Mitt Romney backers now that he's out of the 2016 race.
-
- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is the vanilla candidate, says Jonah Goldberg -- not the favorite, not hated.
- Potential GOP presidential candidates are foolishly trying to gain advantage by talking about their faith, says Cal Thomas.
- The GOP continues to be dominated by right-wing ideologists convinced that purity can triumph over political reality.
- If Jeb Bush's early disclosure that he's clearing the decks for a 2016 presidential bid was meant to scare off all Republican opposition, it appears to have backfired on him.
- If Maryland wants to improve students reading performance, teachers must first be trained how to pass along those skills
- There seems to be only one year that is not an election year, and that is the first year of a new president's first term.
- Teachers unions contribute in essential ways to the effectiveness of school systems; this should not be ignored in reform efforts.
