He’s good at speachifying. He’s fine as governor of New Jersey - PERIOD.

I think all he hits are home runs. I hope people realize the whole “my wife would kill me” thing is a device. I had an old mentor used that trick all the time. It’s not so much a way to get off the hook as it is a way to build empathy and rapport. It shows you are a regular guy with regular problems. At least, I take it as a device. Maybe his wife WOULD kill him. Glad he’s staying here. I hope he turns down VP slot.

Just great! Another panty waist.

Cojones begin at home. Do we really want another leader who can’t stand up to his own wife (mother)?

I am a solid conservative, but Christie is winning me over. I have been around long enough and seen way too many conservatives compromise horrendously (both Bush’s, various Senators, and yes, even the Gipper) to be as bothered as I used to be about someone who may not be openly as conservative as I am. Christie speaks plain truth and he acts just exactly as he speaks. The national debt and deficit are the greatest dangers we face. The debt and deficit are symptoms of a lack of national self-discipline and will that affects the nation in many ways that we don’t even realize or completely understand. If we fix them, a lot of other problems, both fiscal and social, will be serendipitously fixed along the say. Everything starts with personal responsibility and Christie preaches it in spaces. It is time for tough love. I am thinking it may be time for Chris Christie. (He says he won’t do it, but he will if his country needs him. Coulter is right again.)

I liked his response to state legislators about the oogabooga stuff if he causes a shutdown. [paraphrased] “I’m not gonna get a cot in my office - I’m going home, order pizza and watch the game and wait for you asshats to decide when you’re ready to deal with our problems or just spend money.”

I like the guy, but he’s still a RINO on key issues.

No one is as suited for a position of power than the one who looks at it as an awesome responsibility, rather than a chance to show one’s awesomeness.

This is where we need to be in America! We should be RECRUITING our Presidential nominees! We should not have to choose between the three idiots who think they should be President, the four has-beens that should have stayed retired, the one or two complete nutjobs and then the WORST idiot which the media really recommends for the GOP!

The more I see and hear him, the more I really like the sound of a Christie/Palin ticket! Everyone states that you MUST have someone that has worked in DC on the ticket! BS! It’s those idiots who have been in DC for the last ump-teen years that are mucking up the works!

Let’s get two, wholly-new breaths of fresh air!

"Listen, I threatened to commit suicide, I did, I said, 'what can I do short of suicide to convince people I'm not running?'" Christie said. "Apparently, I actually have to commit suicide to convince people I’m not running."

If Hillary Clinton did this, we'd still want proof.....lol.

That said, sadly, I honest to God think that if Hillary Clinton did in fact commit suicide, a chunk of Freepers would still not be convinced that she wasn't still going to in fact, run for POTUS again......

Shouldn’t someone notify the Secret Service?
