Pretty interesting....

[rogue yam]

Paul Ryan, yes please.

Chris Christie, no thanks.

[miss marmelstein]

America, you can have him!

[library user]

With Rick Perry now in, Christie should wait until 2020. I like Christie, but he needs to lose weight.

[InterceptPoint]

Welcome Chris Christie. Or should we just call you NOT RICK PERRY the 2nd. NOT RICK PERRY the 1st is already taken by Paul Ryan and NOT RICK PERRY the 3rd is reserved for Jeb Bush.

[dforest]

Don’t bother Chris. Saying you support some of Obama’s policies make you unelectable.

[Retired Greyhound]

Christie has NO chance. He’s great for Jersey, but he doesn’t articulate conservatism in a way that will inspire the primary electorate.

[SuzyQue]

Great. Another charismatic RINO in the race. Just what we need.

[ronnie raygun]

First question I have for Cristie if he does...........how about that 17 dollar toll hike on the bridges and tunnels in NY and NJ. Nice job

[PieterCasparzen]

Christie has no support from the conservative core, ergo, he will have much more difficulty winning the nomination than his supporters think.

And there is a good possibility he would lose to Obama in a general election.

Unions across the nation would turn out in droves to vote against him.

Most substantial conservatives would be hard pressed to be motivated to get out to vote for him because his establishment viewpoints and compromising style would produce policies that worked against conservatism just about as much as Obama has.

Very conservative people would view his winning the Republican primary as an indication that the Republican party was tone deaf as to conservative values. It would also make a third party probably take shape, as conservatives would begin to leave the Republican party that deserted them.

IMHO...

[KansasGirl]

I don’t want Christie to run. He IS NOT a conservative.

[Pining_4_TX]

Pawlenty wants anyone except Bachmann, because he wants the VP spot. He knows they won’t nominate 2 people from the same state. That is why he attacks MB so much.

[bkepley]

Even if he doesn’t get the nomination it would be good for the GOP if he gets in and Palin too. You wouldn’t hear too many cracks about the GOP not having any heavyweights (no pun intended) running. Romney, Palin, Perry, Christie....a pretty formidable line-up against the Democrats I’d say.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Tells you how NON conservative Pawlenty was - that his campaign staff would work for Christie

[iowamark]

I think that he would want Pawlenty staffers like he would want the plague.

[no dems]

Key staffers who formerly made up the Pawlenty campaign have been in discussions with Christie all week......They are reportedly very anxious to have Christie officially place his hat in the ring.
Methinks these campaign staffers just need a job and don't wanna have to go back into the real world and look for employment.

[Jim Scott]

I have no interest in a Chris Christie presidential candidacy. The New Jersey governor is not a conservative and I view his possible candidacy as nothing but a vehicle to siphon off votes form Perry and/or Bachmann, who are conservative, if not quite ';Reagan conservatives'. Chris Christie convinces the politically unsophisticated that because he's fought the unions and talks tough (he's from New Jersey, after all) that makes him a 'conservative'. I don't think so. His weight is also an issue, even if it might be considered bad form to mention it. The media will, often. It makes him appear undisciplined , a gift to leftist political cartoonists and a ripe target for the inevitable 'fat jokes' from the left, especially liberal 'comedians' such as Bill Maher and Dave Letterman. Ouch! However, even if Chris Christie were built like a prizefighter, I still would not welcome his candidacy because he is a lot closer to RINO than TEA party.

[bereanway]

If Pawlenty’s people are chasing this guy that tells me all I need to know. Which isn’t all I do know since this is the same guy who said about 3 days ago that he has admiration and agress with 0zer0 on a number of issues. Funny, but I don’t agree with the current resident on anything. Sounds a lot like a McCain. Besides, he’s awful on the RKBA, AGW and Islam.

Thanks but no thanks.

[Molon Labbie]

Losing weight would be relatively easy for Gov. Christie with the right frame of mind and some support.

Coming to grips with the reality that it is folly to befriend those whose sacrosanct mission is to destroy us as a people is a much greater struggle.

Chris Christie slams fearmongering over Sharia law

Aug 4, 2011
New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie defended his decision to nominate a Muslim judge to the state Superior Court against conservative critics who warned that the new judge will implement Sharia law. The notoriously blunt-spoken Christie calling their fears “crap” and “crazy.”
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/chris-christie-slams-fearmongering-over-sharia-law-210648303.html

Anyone stupid enough to want to appoint Muslims into government positions is dangerous.
