TRENTON Gov. Chris Christie is cashing in donations from top Democratic fundraisers and other traditionally liberal donors across the country, even nabbing the support of a handful of rainmakers aligned with President Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Star-Ledger review of state and federal records shows.
The checks are flying into the Republican governors war chest from all sorts of unlikely places the hedge fund run by liberal billionaire George Soros, for example, and the politically progressive halls of the University of California, Berkeley.
The nascent support from Democratic donors is an early sign of Christies fundraising prowess in a potential run for the White House in 2016, experts and Democratic donors said, and dovetails with recent polls showing him gaining popularity nationally among Democrats and independents........

Well, they do recognize one liberal from another. If they don’t want liberal Hillary, they will choose liberal fat guy RINO.

Nothing unlikely about it. Christie is just the latest liberal Republican they want to run for President. It will make it easier for Hillary in 2016.

Clearly Kathleen Sebelius began forwarding Lautenberg’s medical records to the White Hut about the time Sandy hit the Jersey coast last fall.

More than enough reason for Conservatives to avoid the fat pig like the plague.

Will he appoint himself Senator? No. Too risky for him. Why risk guaranteed re-election to be an underdog in a Senate race.

Wasn’t it Soros who said there was essentially no difference between Obama and Romney? I am not surprised that he’s now substituted Christie for Romney.

To: jim_trent
He's going to follow in McCain and Romney's footsteps as the liberal media coronated RINO in 2016 and sold to Republican voters like his predecessors as the “only candidate that can win”. Then just like in 2008 and 2012 the media will turn against him as soon as he secures the nomination.

Nothing surprising here. Maybe now though Bruce Springstein will call Krispy Kreme or even do a benefit for him. That would make lardass very happy!
