* Already getting some ’16 Senate polling, as Ayotte narrowly leads Hassan in hypothetical NH contest.

* Pelosi hanging tough on price for helping Republicans keep government open while posturing on immigration.

* At Ten Miles Square, Julia Azari is skeptical about efforts to make U.S. political parties more internally democratic.

* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer argues smart kids really don’t have trouble getting into really good colleges.
