Well, let's see now, in 6 Republican presidential primary polls from 4 years ago, we got 82, 89, 86, 90, 90, and 86 per cent of survey respondents picking one of the candidates.

I'll agree with Goeas that it's not a wide-open race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, but he goes astray with his reasoning.  The media loves a horse race with lots of ponies, no matter how broken down and out of shape some of them are.
