Can’t he just compromise?

Have one chin stay governor of New Jersey and have the other chin run for president.

Win/Win

I’d vote for him. The guy is no right wing nut job. Hard on money. Doesn’t care about the social dog whistles.

I voted for Obama.

Christie is reasonable.

Now try and fit me in a blue/red hole.

And he’d never get the nomination. He’d be called a RINO within the first week he said said he believes in evolution.

Christie seems to have the ARROGANCE of a “You Lie!” hussein – not a good characteristic.

He is a lap band away from the nomination. Love the guy but no one wants a fat nominee.

Run Christie Run. I think it would drive the wingnuts mad when they see his decesions in action. For eaxample appointing a Muslim to the NJ top court.

Muslim/Al Quaider Lawyer who is going to implement Shariah law. ahhhh

You don’t have a chance fat man, believe the hype however, be nice to knock you off your pedestal in 2012 rather than wait for 2016. New Jersey’s unemployment isn’t doing any better than the National’s unemployment rating and you’re a disciple of Bush with a bad temper and would have to campaign day and night for a year plus for a job, you’ll be a gaffe machine and make it too easy for the Dems.

I’m right there with you, buddy. I voted the same as you. And I don’t vote party; I vote candidate. Some of my choices meet my expectations, some exceed, and sadly some fall far short. I believe Christie has met and exceeded my expectation of him. But I’m from NJ, and when it comes to assessing my state’s politicians, I aim low.

Chris Christie is the most overhyped politician of this season.

A) He’s too moderate on social issues to win the GOP nomination.

B) He’s from New Jersey, for crying out loud. Let’s see how well that plays in the rest of the country during a long campaign.

His entire popularity in the GOP is based on a few YouTube clips of him bashing unions and degrading questioners at town hall meetings.

Blunt talk only takes you so far…but I think people would get tired of it in a hurry.

Oh, PLEASE run, Christie! And pick Palin for your VP because I would LOVE to see that combo — try to beat Obama. Right, Christie can win, ’tis to chuckle.

Say, Sarah, why don’t you ask Christie to be YOUR VP since he says he can win. As an added bonus, have Karl Rove run your campaign. Get Rumsfeld and Dubya to tape commercials for you both, and since this is all fantasy anyway, have Wolfowitz and Cheney by your side.

Love it.

He’s a single issue politician right now. The only reason people are excited about him is because he cuts spending.

If he ran for president, he’d have to deal with things like foreign policy, etc.

Nobody knows how he’d hold up under any kind of actual scrutiny.

Taft?
Good luck, Fatso.

Of course, because the two qualities most Americans are looking for in a president are fat and angry.

hey christie when you gonna tell “THE FOLKS” that youre a bush era lapdog???? and how you got hired as a US Attorney, and how you overcharged the government for you lavish lifestyle and how you screwed the pooch on new jerseys economy…..your fat ass aint gonna win shit cept a recurring role as a joe scarbrough kiss ass twice a week…..GET LOST

If that were the case, that dummy in your avatar would be a lock!

But seriously, there is NO WAY Christie’s ticker could handle the rigors of a presidential campaign. Hell, he’ll be lucky to make it through the year, as it is!

Christie won’t pander to the idiots, he’d be condemned as a RINO and they when Obama won they would say it’s because “they would have rather stayed at home than vote for a RINO like Christie” just like they said with Obama.

Sounds like a man who thinks he would lose.

Christie is the man to beat in 2016. And it’s only 2011.

Just what the Neoconmen need: another arrogant slob with delusions of grandeur. Aren’t Gingrich & Barbour enough? Chrissie “knows” he can win, just like Palin “knows” how to fix the economy, and will run, If no one else comes forward to do it. In NY, they call that chutzpah, in NJ we called it BS.

Sounds like a likely Nobel Prize winner to me.

There’s always a question whether such confidence is more a curse than a blessing.

I’m a conservative, live in New Jersey but am no affiliated with any party and hearing any good candidate say they believe in evolution wouldn’t stop me from voting for them. I believe in God and can not see how believing in God would automatically make me not believe in evolution. The same goes for being a conservative. How would that make me automatically no believe in evolution.

You can still say that about President Obama after two years in office.

Lyndon Baines Johnson.

I would love to see a (R) President in ’12, I like Christie and WOULD have voted for him. But after that arrogant statement, he just lost my vote.

He knows he could win the Republican primary because they’re all jokes and he is the least funny one.

The Democrats can try to laugh this off — and the try to laugh everything off (that’s why the number one source of liberal opinion is Comedy Central) — but Obama is quite vulnerable. He has lost the moderate and independent voters, and it isn’t clear he knows what to do to win them back.

The Democrats had their one brief shining moment, with huge majorities in Congress and control of the White House. And what did they do with it? They passed a bunch of 1,000 page trillion dollar bills that they never bothered to read and ran up debt faster than anyone in history. They crippled the economy with a job-killing regulations and an anti-business mentality. And they forced through a healthcare bill that voters begged them not pass.

They now have to run on that track record, and as last November proved, the electorate doesn’t trust the Democrats with the reins of power any more. I don’t see that changing before the 2012 election.

Because, conservatism and religiosity are big indicators (in this country at least) of one’s opposition to the theory of evolution. Not automatically…but a good likelihood.

You aren’t a primary voter in SC or a Caucus goer in Iowa. By the time it gets to you in NJ, the game will be over. Primaries are not the same as the general. Ask Joe Miller.

The electorate will be different in 2012. Also, the GOP is not going to have those Independents left by next year with the bullshit abortion bills and other chicanery they have going on in the House. Last I checked, Obama was beating his potential GOP rivals in polling. I don’t think he is that worried. The GOP can not beat him with nobody. I mean…just look at the current polling results from the swing state of Virginia.

Remember, Obama can lose IN, OH, VA, NC & FL in 2012 and still win.

Chris Christie already “knows he would win”. And he would (win) IF he did (run). Very simple.

Christie for pres with Palin as VP. A winning ticket.

Now I am not laughing but believe me Chris Christie is definitely not ready to become President of these United States of America.

And when, In you’re opinion, Did you consider obama ready to be president?

Joseph Glackin said:

Best response ever to Christie egomaniacal statement that he knows he would win.

If he wants to win, Governor Christie should hide his arrogance, just like Boehner has done behind his tears. (BTW, only after he became speaker of the house did he address the jobs issue by saying “so be it,” as he acknowledged that his budget cuts will kill government jobs.)

And, in spite of economic reports that the GOP’s budget cuts will slow down the recovery and kill the creation of 1.1 million new jobs (according to good conservative and Moody analyst Mark Zandi), Boehner and McDonnell don’t seem to care, as long as it means Obama will become a one term president.

So Governor Christie please run in 2012. Just campaign honestly as the bullying union buster you are who shows the same common courtesy we expect of political talking heads. Let the people of this country judge you on your true core values.

Or maybe that wouldn’t work, considering Wisconsin voters polled recently would have elected the other guy, because Scott Walker has shown his true right wing extremist self, which is completely out of line with even the Republican voters in his state.

I think in the next day or two, the always-haughty Paul Krugman will weigh in on this…outraged and incensed as he always is. I think it’s time for him to move on to some poofy elite magazine as their wine correspondent, like other ship-jumpers at the NYT are doing.

I must respectfully disagree captain. Ms. Palin is a hell of a lot smarter than most give her credit for, but she is not quite there yet. She needs to wait until 2016 and, in the mean time, hire a voice coach. I greatly respect the lady for many reasons but she just isn’t ready. She has PLENTY of time.

uggugg said:

You may be correct, but he’s a HELL of a lot better than the current occupant of the WH.

Maybe I don’t understand some things, but I sure understand the Republicans hollering cut the debt , while with stretched out hands take all they can get from the federal government. Happens all the time where I live and I live in a very, very, conservative red state. I would appreciate an honest answer from a Republican, remember I am requesting an HONEST answer, not some right spin.
