You are right. I have withheld judgment on Christie’s actions this week but if Obama wins by a hair, Christie is done in the Republican Party. He gave the media the exact optics they wanted this week to change the narrative. Romney had this won on Monday. It would appear to be tightening up, even if we still have an edge.
I remember reading a rather factual study about ten years ago. It was an employers guide regarding specifics types of people to avoid hiring. The percentage of accuracy for the top three types was off the charts. I will not mention two of the three, BUT number one was, younger obese people, who do not have medical conditions as the cause. The logic was, lazy, emotional problems, self-gratifying, dishonest and angry.
