Romney with a Bruce Springsteen infatuation, Tourette syndrome and a glandular problem? I'll pass.

[nickcarraway]

A lot of candidates will have booms before all is said and done.

[allendale]

Delusional. Christies record in New Jersey when examined carefully does not hold up.

[MNDude]

Has to do with eating a lot of beans.

[Eric Blair 2084]

Bruce Springsteen wouldn’t play for him. Much like every other heal the world make it a better place liberal entertainer. They have empty lives.

You can still enjoy his music and talent.

Christie has about as much chance of being POTUS as carrot top or Kim Kardashian.

I like the guy personally and would like to hang out with him when he gets some luxury box seats with Jerry at Cowboys games. :-)

he would make a good US Attorney General in the cabinet. If he doesn’t get that gig he can make $25,000 per speech.

[Bryan24]

Wonder how much was promised to the author of this article by Christie?

[CPT Clay]

Debate will only be a BOOM for Cruz.

[matt1234]

The only boom Christie will have is after a four chili dog lunch.

[dp0622]

Rofl. that pretty much describes me two years ago. the embrace with Obummer sealed it for me.
like I said before, I’ve converted my brother and two sisters into forgetting the “Cruz is too conservative for the general public” nonsense and now they support him. Working on my nephews and nieces, that is my upcoming challenge

[A CA Guy]

He, Bush, Huckabee and a few others should leave.

[bluejean]

Huh? In a culture obsessed with obesity and weight loss he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell. And the Obama love-fest was total buzz kill. He’s a soggy Cheerio.

[fieldmarshaldj]

It’s called farting.

[Fungi]

Ha Ha Ha. You mean he will attack the local doughnut shop with a sonic boom? What a joke. Go home Christie, lose some weight, and consider running for mayor of Camden.

[Ronin]

Chris Christie jumped the shark when he cuddled up to Obama after Sandy. I wanted to retch.

[RginTN]

under Christie New Jersey has been downgraded by Moody and the S&P...can he overcome that when the media/democrat alliance bring it up repeatedly.

[VTenigma]

To the writer: Put the bong down and back away.

[Reno89519]

A rally in the polls? What, Christi will go from 0.5 to 1 percent?!

[erod]

I’ve never forgiven Christie for handing Obama that boost in the polls after Hurricane Sandy. Screw him.

[redfreedom]

This fat bastards love fest with obama during the last election cost Romney dearly. I’m not saying we’d be much better off with Romney, but it clearly shows this jerk is a RINO.

[BobL]

The only “boom” we’ll hear from Christie is him falling on his face when his campaign collapses.

[Dr. Sivana]

When it comes to stage presence, Marco Rubio is the only 2016 Republican who beats Christie.

I saw BOTH Christie and Rubio in person at the Georgia State GOP convention. Christie was the best speaker at the entire convention (including Deal, Perdue, etc.). I say that not liking him any more than most of the folks here.

When he can control WHAT he presents, and how he presents it, he is very good. Few voters will get to see that Chris Christie. He won't play in the south, period. He might be competitive in some northeast states. He is EXTREMELY vulnerable to attack ads, unreleased material that can hurt him in the general (which is why he got knocked off of Romney's list for VP), and positions that turn off large segments of the electorate (zero appeal to Rand Paul types, zero appeal to gun owners and 2nd Amendment supporters). For the superficial voters, he sports an unappealing profile.

Any rise in the polls won't be a surge. It will be a dead cat bounce.
