1. how is this shocking?

Christie’s more middle right, specially when compared to the others in the field, its not a stretch to think he would endorse someone whose closer to that stripe

2. I think Christie is focused on the big picture

Christie I think has enough sense to realize that its not just about the primary, its about the general election, aka who can actually win, people like Bachmann or Santorum, or Perry at this point may be gold to the primary voters but they can be extremely polarizing figures when it comes time for the mainstream, the simple truth is they turn off the mainstream voters and thats actually more important then the primary ones because ultimately winning hte primary doesn’t get you squat if you don’t win the election

Suspected he was a RINO. I will vote for Romney if the Republicans run him but he is far from my first choice, and no it doesn’t have anything to do with Romney being Mormon and everything to do with him being a Rino and his Romneycare.

Romney is considered more electable and is the apparent choice of the GOP elite, it sucks, but there it is. I’m still supporting Cain though.  For all you conservative out there, check my man Zo: http://www.youtube.com/user/machosauceproduction   he rocks and you won’t be disapointed.

I love Zo, he is hilarious!  Romney isn’t as Conservative as I’d like, but I will support him if he’s the nom, just as I will Cain.  They are both WAY better than the utter failure we have now. 

I do remember the good ol’ days of last week when Governor Christie was the second coming of Ronald Reagan. Who could have seen that he is a moderate, pragmatic right-leaning technocrat who will be supporting the same thing in Romney?

This is a shocker.

This should help Mitt Romney!! Plus, all Mitt had to do to get Christie’s endorsement is to send 1000 boxes of Twinkies to Christie’s office!! Lol!!

No surprise. Christie is no fool. He’s not about to align himself with a far right loon like Cain, Perry or Bachmann. He’s a more traditional Republican like the party used to run back when it was a serious organization and not a clubhouse for crackpots, gun nuts and Jesus freaks.

HAHA, you libs and your fat jokes are SO funny!!

I like Christie but this is not a boon for conservatism. I prefer Cain over all the candidates at this point. Romney is too much of a flip flopper and we shouldn’t settle for a candidate just based on electability.

Yep, that’s us.  Bitterly clinging to our guns and religion. 

 I agree though I won’t donate or campaign for Romney, he just doesn’t motivate me. I will campaign and donate to Cain though.

Normally, I’d agree to vote your conscious over electability, but I think it’s too big of a risk this time around.  I’m not sure the country can survive another 4 years of Obama.  Now that’s not to say I don’t think Cain can win, I’m just making a general statement.  I find it so refreshing how Cain refuses to be politically correct and will tell you what he thinks without filtering everything he says, like Barry does.  Whether it’s Cain or Romney, whoever the Repubs nominate will be better than Obama.  That I’m confident of. 

The Koch brothers are signaling it’s time for Cain to step aside.

Koch Bro, drink!

The teabaggers will circle their wagons around Perry now and force Cain out.

What will you TeaBaggees do, still support Obama the Taxer?

And this multitude of liberal simpletons (Pelosi, Reid, Wasserman-Schultz, Frank, etc.) is definitely not of the “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” Democrat Party, not by a long shot.

Cain will eventually ‘Bachmann himself’ out of the race with some crazy talk. He has a serious problem with loose lips.

Perry is their man.

What changed  in a week ? You know, if Christy can jump his own ship so quickly  you jersey people will see him go Arnold. if his guy looses. Hell, Romney will go Arnold…

I’m glad to hear you admit it, Michelle. It’s the first step towards solving the problem.

I like Cain too but a few thoughts.  He has a good radio show on in SC, GA and FL, so don’t be too surprised if he does well there.  Also, I’m concerned he will be another Alan Keyes.  Obama destroyed Keys in IL.

I’m not a Democrat and I won’t defend them. Several are a mess, including my own congressman, whom I despise. But the Republicans are in a league of their own when it comes to raw, unrepentant and mentally ill wingnuttery.

If you want proof, just listen to the debate tonight.

Preferable to Obama.

You clearly have liberal blinders on. 

Fact:Teabaggers means the insertion of one man’s sack into another person’s mouth. Used a practical joke or prank, when performed on someone who is asleep, or as a sexual act this is an act of a democrat. Perry would love that Kooks and liberals endorse him!

They all make more sense than Obama and the rest of the Democrat nuts who see no value in a balanced budget.  Look at Greece or even CA, that’s what liberals want nationwide.

“turning off mainstream voters” is code for “be obama-lite”…  the “big picture” is moot if you’re going to implement a watered down version of the opposition’s agenda…  romney’s slogan should be “less filling, same shitty taste”…

Sorry to disappoint you, dear Michelle, but I’m not a “lib.” I’m a recovering conservative. 

10 points for SNL-fendorf! They called it. Boy oh boy, did they call it!!!

“Look at Greece or even CA, that’s what liberals want nationwide”

Just the fact that you’d type something that stupid shows how totally unhinged you are. Really, just go away. You’re not contributing anything of value. You won’t be missed.

Keyes pretty much destroyed himself. And so will Cain, as he has nothing to offer the electorate but an economic plan that’s a disaster. 

“ I find it so refreshing how Cain refuses to be politically correct and will tell you what he thinks without filtering everything he says, like Barry does.”

Because calling a country Ubeki beki beki beki stan stan is such a winning strategy!! Go Michelle! Go Airheads of America! Go! Go! Go! Whooooooooooooooooo!!

Cain was such a “cute” gesture tho, wasn’t he?

Yeah, no one believes that, so you can give up the jig.

What is stupid about what he said?  He’s right.

If you think Barry knew the names of the leaders of every country, you’re a moron. But you’ll notice, Dems don’t get ask those gotcha questions.  They get asked tough questions like, what did you have for dinner last night. 

Romney isn’t a conservative at all. Neither is Christie. it’s the support of one RINO to another.

Cain is NOT a loon.  The  good ole boy republicans don’t like him because he’s not one of them.

Obamas is working soooooo good, isn’t it?

o/t

Say goodbye to ron paul with this iran story cookin!

We will?

racist

You’re right. You’re a far left loon and a sock puppet.

My Bible is out of reach right now but my Desert Eagle is close by. ;)

How’s the recovery going?

“If you think Barry knew the names of the leaders of every country, you’re a moron.”

Because when we don’t know the answer to something, we make fun of it instead!! Go Michelle! Go Airheads of America! Rah! Rah! Whooooooooooooooooo!!

All aboard the Cain Train! Woot, woot! ;)

n*ggerhead sponsoring texan

All the way with citizen Cain!

Both are still better than Ozero, any day of the week. 

Thanks, I thought it was a good one too!!

Can we get some more Mormon and fat jokes please?

Great. Now grab it, point it at your head and fire. 

Michelle, in every post you’ve shown that you’re a loon and have no ability to discern fact from fiction. Why do you think I’d give a rat’s ass what you think? 

Michelle apparently doesn’t need a president who can identify the countries with funny sounding names. 

Hey, where’s “rupert”?

Hey, did you know austrian is a language?

No, I don’t think ANY president, if tested as a candidate, would know the leaders of every country. The funny thing is the Repub candidates are the only ones quizzed. 

 zo is pretty great…  i was hipped to him thru “red eye”…

http://activitypit.ning.com/profile/massmurdermedia

your idea of a traditional republican sounds like hubert humphrey…  there is not a single ideal republican candidate, yet cain, perry and bachmann are hardly loons…  as dennis miller said about herman cain, “can i tell you how jazzed i am about this cat?!”…

LOL.. “Obamas is working soooo good, isnt it?” — well he got elected so he gave it a shot and with the GOP base running things (like they did with mcPalin), I’m scared we will get another 4 years of his experiments.
THANK GOD CHRISTIE STEPPED UP and at least is trying to show the GOPBASE who they should consider ROMNEY give Obie a challenge. CAIN.. ROFL.. He’s just missing the MAC.

The only endorsement that will matter is Palins.

Romney is too smooth an operator for Cain and Perry. Watch him trap these two in extremist positions. 

Meh 

She is already yesterday’s news.

Meh 

She is already yesterday’s news.

Christie is new big man on campus. Palin yesterdays news.

Well in fairness,they gave Palin a softball when asked what newspapers she reads.

Perry already has the know-nothing vote.

Couldn’t agree more. How about Cain/Gingrich 2012?

I’d easily vote for a Cain/Gingrich ticket (although I don’t want Cain to change the tempo of “Hail to the Chief” and hope he was just joshing about it). Cain knows how to turn around a bankrupt business- which our country most certainly is- and Newt knows how Congress works (or doesn’t) and where the bodies are buried. They could make a stellar team to undo the damage that Obama (and decades of stupid Progressives) has done.

Fact: Liberals running of a GOP debate asked Cain what kind of pizza he likes so why would they care about substance!

Fact: Too much government Tit makes you soft!

My mind is barely made up about Cain. Gingrich would be an asset with his experience but not sure he would be well accepted.

The simple truth that whether you like it or not is that mainstream voters:

1. Are not fall right on all issues

the majority of Americans support gay marriage and the repeal of don’t ask don’t tell for example, republicans would do well to leave social issues alone and stay focused on on the economy and give something thats different and new, saying we need to just cut taxes don’t work when too many polls show that most americans are overwhelmingly in favor of raising taxes on millionaires

2. Don’t like their politicians to either lie to them too much or seem to be incompetent

people will handle flip flopping, at this point its considered par for the course in modern american politics but what people don’t enjoy is when politicians like Bachmann who consistently bungle basic historical facts such as where the american revolution was started, the founding fathers working tirelessly to end slavery, John Quincy Adams was a founding father, etc If your candidate looks too stupid then people don’t respect them and neither will the rest of the world

3. Are fine with religion but don’t want it dominating politics

Any friend I have who is a republican and religious still can’t stand people like Bachmann, or Santorum, or Newt with their “moral values” , they don’t feel that the rest of society should have obey them just because they came out of a book

Bottom line is mainstream voters aren’t far right and they’re not far left and they appreciate people in the middle because the perception is someone in the middle is more open and flexible and better for the country as a complete whole  than an individual who is entrenched too far to one side.
Politics is perception and right now Obama is not popular but he still beats virtually all candidates in a head to head match up except perhaps Romney

  

1. HIs policies and opinions  always suggested he was socially liberal so how is this a surprise?

2. What exactly is a “real republican” these days in terms of both economic, social values, foreign values, etc?

Now that Christie isn’t a candidate, Mediaite no longer needs to mention his weight in every headline about him.

But just watch…if he becomes the VP nominee, Mediaite will go back to this cheap shot. 

Agreed, and I’ve been saying this for weeks.  Romney is the ONLY candidate that stands a chance of beating Obama.  In fact, none of the other candidates even stand a remote chance.  Cain/Santorum/Bachman/Perry/Gingrich will get creamed against Obama.

I know the GOP is really pissed that no one farther to the right and worthwhile is running, but they are going to have to face reality at some point and realize it’s either Romney or nothing.

I actually wonder if Pawlenty is regretting dropping out so early?  As desperate as the GOP currently seems to be to grab on to someone, anyone, who isn’t Mitt Romney, I actually think Pawlenty would stand a really good chance now if he was in the race.  He is more conservative than Romney, and he also is the only other candidate besides Romney in the primary who could stand a chance of beating Obama.

Cain will never win on a national level.  He has no political experience and some of his ideas are too extreme to sell to the public, I think.

Which I don’t mean as a criticism of Cain, necessarily, but I don’t think he has the experience to withstand a national campaign, nor do I think that the public in general will buy some of his ideas.

It’s a very, very, weak batch of candidates, so I don’t envy the choice GOP voters have to make.  But I do think they will need to realize eventually that Romney is the only viable candidate in the bunch.

Yeah, you will, because you’re ignorant sheep that will gravitate to the biggest idiot.  Birds of a feather I guess.

Redneck

Michelle says something stupid, drink.

You’re right, you should vote for the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza.  Maybe you could nominate the CEO of Dominos next time.  He did a better job than Cain did with a pizza franchise.  LOL

Texan, don’t act like you knew that before Obama made the gaffe.  For some reason, I doubt if you’re the type of person that knows what’s going on outside your trailer park.  Call it a hunch.

Michelle, every single time I consider voting for Republican, I see what idiots like you have to say and realize that it’s a party of morons.  Keep up the good work.

Gotta feel bad for Michelle.  Has no concept of reality.  Then again, what do you expect from someone who follows a religion that believes in magical underwear?

LOL Even if Texan shot himself in the head, it wouldn’t really do any damage.  You need to have a brain for that to work and Texan has no brain.
