“Christie, again, the weight issue.”

“William Howard Taft who frequently tipped the scales at over 300 pounds.
edit:little fact, president Taft need to enlarge the white house bath tub to fit in it. Four of its workers could fit in it compared to one president fitting in it”

At the risk of sounding like "let's move," 300 is unhealthy, if there's not much muscle. Maybe Christie has hit that mark, or not all that far away. I'm overweight myself (gluttony/ill health; not an admirable quality or condition:)).

IMO, the GOP really needs to pull out their bibles and beads and pray, so we can get ourselves a decent candidate.
